Package: gdb
Version: 7.1-1
Severity: important
gdb refuses to print errno on amd64, regardless of whether the program
in question is 32-bit or 64-bit. libc6-dbg is installed.
In my opinion, not being able to print errno makes gdb significantly
less useful. errno is an essential and important part of libc6, and not
supporting it is a really, really bad idea.
If gdb has never worked on errno, ever, then you may feel free to
downgrade this to wishlist.
I have determined, though, that gdb does work if you issue the command
"set environment LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/libefence.so" before "run" to use
Electric Fence. This is bizarre.
