That is a very annoying bug in gdb 5.0. When I set a breakpoint in
the shared library, I have to disable them before restart.
Getting this bug fixed is one of the release criteria for GDB 5.1.
All I have now is a hack that works around the problems, see the GDB
TODO file for more info.
Also it is very hard to debug ld-linux.so.2:
# gdb ld-linux.so.2
AFAIK this never worked. Patches to make it work are certainly
welcome. Uli mentioned he submitted some patches, but I cannot find
any trace of them. Perhaps you re-submit them Uli?
