It neded up that I had a littel time so . . .
I tried /usr/local/bin/gdb and for it:
(gdb) p &((Obj_Entry *)0)->linkmap
$1 = (struct link_map *) 0x238
So the lack of finding Obj_Entry via the test gdb seems to be
specific to the test gdb, not a problem for devel/gdb .
May be the test gdb has some sort of build problem in my context,
given that I used CPATH to get things to build?
