Gdb has stopped working recently in -current. In a snapshot from
October 24th, it's fine. In a snapshot from November 15th (before
the great gcc switchover), it's hosed. I've been told it's hosed in
today's -current as well. Here are the symptoms:

tuba# uname -sr
FreeBSD 4.0-19991115-CURRENT
tuba# cat f.c
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
        printf("hello world\n");
}
tuba# cc -g f.c
tuba# gdb -q a.out
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/a.out 
warning: find_solib: Can't read pathname for load map: Bad address

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
tuba#

A statically compiled executable works though:

tuba# cc -static -g f.c
tuba# gdb -q a.out
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/a.out 
hello world

Program exited with code 014.
(gdb) 


Okay, 'fess up: who's the wise guy.
