Description Karel Klíč 2011-08-08 15:20:41 UTC

A problem related to debuginfo was found in the gmp-4.3.1-7.el6 package. This issue might affect crash analysis done by Automatic Bug Reporting Tool and its retrace server, and also prevent proper debugging of crashes via GDB.

When a binary is compiled without gcc's -g option, no debugging information is generated and rpmbuild creates almost-empty debuginfo file, which cannot be used for debugging. Please fix the package build process to use $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, which include the -g option among others.

- path: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/sse2/libgmpxx.so.4.1.0.debug
  package: gmp-debuginfo-4.3.1-7.el6.i686
- path: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/sse2/libgmp.so.3.5.0.debug
  package: gmp-debuginfo-4.3.1-7.el6.i686
- path: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/sse2/libmp.so.3.1.14.debug
  package: gmp-debuginfo-4.3.1-7.el6.i686

This issue can be investigated and tested by using eu-readelf tool from the elfutils package. Use `eu-readelf --section-headers /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/<debuginfofile>.debug` to see if debuginfo file contains .debug_info section. It is supposed to be there.

(This bug was detected and filed by a script.)
