If you don't know what it is, you don't want it. Basically the Glibc
versioning didn't use to work on ARM, so Corel build all their apps
against a Glibc compiled with --disable-versioning. This is a Bad Thing,
as it means everything breaks if you upgrade the library. I think this is
why Corel had to rebuild everything when they upgraded to Glibc-2.1. I
don't know why they didn't use versioning when they were rebuilding
everything anyway. But if you have a Corel/HCC/Rebel.com based
distribution, versioned binaries won't run on it. Titan is a distribution
based on Redhat Rawhide (most of which is in Redhat 6 now), with a
versioned Glibc.
As to GDB though, I never managed to get one that worked properly. I seem
to recall using a patch which was on the Debian ftp site, together with
the BFD from the latest binutils, to produce something which sort of
works, but is very unstable and always gets the line numbers wrong.
