Problem with ldso/gdb in potato

[José Luis Gómez Dans]

---BeginMessage---
BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 57: elf_get_dynamic_info:
Assertion `! bad dynamic tag' failed!

This seems to point towards ldso in my potato installation.
However, ldso has been installed without problems. This error only seems
to occur with gdb, all other programs run fine.

Any ideas?

gdb and potato

[Dave Wiard]

I recently updated fully to potato and am having a slight annoyance with
GDB.  Giving an 'n' command acts with the exact behavior of 's'.  Does
anyone else have this problem?  This is a real annoyance when attempting
to perform a strncpy() call where GDB steps me through the ASM files:

(gdb) 
199   strncpy( cmd-args[k++], command[j], ( j - i ) );
(gdb) 
strncpy () at ../sysdeps/alpha/strncpy.S:32
32  ../sysdeps/alpha/strncpy.S: No such file or directory.
Current language:  auto; currently asm
(gdb) 
39  in ../sysdeps/alpha/strncpy.S

or something of that nature.  Could somebody help me out with this?

TIA

I suspect this is the result of the changed declaration of str* functions.
When you try to step into it, stepi, you should see the compiled assembler.
