I realized that GDB doesn't work as it should.
When GDB should run *any* target application, it always stops with
SIGTRAP 0x0000000000000000.
Example:
stephan@itanic:~$ gdb man

Debian Wheezy: Kernel 3.2.23, GDB 7.4.1 doesn't work
Debian Wheezy: Kernel 3.2.23, GDB 7.3 doesn't work
Debian Wheezy: with Kernel 3.5.5 (experimental), GDB 7.4.1 doesn't work
Debian Wheezy: with Kernel 3.5.5 (experimental), GDB 7.3 doesn't work
Debian Lenny: Kernel 2.6.26, a 'debootstrapped' Wheezy userland, GDB
7.4.1 *works*
Gentoo: Kernel 3.3.8, GDB 7.3.1 works
I'm surprised that GDB 7.4.1 works on Lenny in the chroot'd Wheezy
environment.
Please also note that the problem doesn't occur on Gentoo ia64.
In my opinion, it points to the Debian Kernel somehow...
