Bug 483801

Description of problem:
I am having a hard time getting GDB to work for remote debugging. I am running RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.1 (2.6.18-53.el5), gcc 4.1.2, and gdb 6.5-25.el5rh) on x86 platform. I do not generate any signals in my application and my application works fine. I am able to attach gdb to my remote process, but I never get to the breakpoints in the application becasue the program receives SIGTRAPS pretty much at every instruction when executing /bin/ld-linux.so.2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.1 (2.6.18-53.el5), gcc 4.1.2, and gdb 6.5-25.el5rh) 

How reproducible:
The problem should be easily reproduciable.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build a C++ application that would require loading shared libraries at run-time.
2.Run gdbserver on the remote target board (gdbserver :<port> <executable>)
3. Run gdb debugger on the target:
gdb <exectuble>

gdb starts and then input the following commands in gdb:

target remote <target ip address>:<port>

enter "c" to continue executing the program.

Actual results:

This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux-gnu"...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". Here is what I get:

Expected results:
I execpt to receive SIGTRAP at breakpoints in my application, but the debugger catches SIGTRAP in the gcc loader.

Additional info:
It seems like SIGTRAP is generated at every instruction in ld-linux.so
