Package: gdb
Version: 7.4.1+dfsg-0.1

gdb's   "catch syscall" doesn't work on ARM because it's missing
the XML description file; from dpkg -L 


/usr/share/gdb/syscalls
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/sparc64-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/ppc64-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/mips-n64-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/ppc-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/i386-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/mips-o32-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/sparc-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/amd64-linux.xml
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/gdb-syscalls.dtd
/usr/share/gdb/syscalls/mips-n32-linux.xml

see, no arm (el or hf).
(Whether there are other issues as well I don't know - I just spotted
that the ARM versions were missing).

There was an Ubuntu bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/+bug/501277
when many others were missing, but I noticed the ARM one was still missing.
