Heya,
Long story short, I hit this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12595631/debugging-with-gdb-on-a-program-with-no-optimization-but-still-there-is-no-symbo
and can't find the problem, it applies here because like the asker of
that question I am using a recent GCC build, maybe a week old?
I do suspect (there's a mention of a -ggdb3 flag) that I am using an
older build of gdb, the guy in the question tried gdb 7.5 (but this was
tried a while a go) so even if this isn't gcc related (which I highly
doubt, if it were a bug it would have been noticed) I am hoping I'll get
even a sentence to point me in the right direction. MAYBE (hint) some
links to literature of of how debug data gets scattered over the binary
and what has changed between 4.6 (stock) and 4.8 (my current version)...
