Debian-alpha bugs (was: Re: General questions about debian-alpha...)
Hi all,
Let me add my maybe-bugs, too, after a response:

The links are installed by libc6.1-dev (that's why it depends on
kernel-headers-2.0.32 because otherwise they point into the void :).

Wow, thanks. I did not know this (even if it makes lots of sense). We
should perhaps make sure that the kernel maintainers do not maintain that
it *is* necessary?

Maybe-bugs:
The dummy ldso is still version 1.7.14-2 which gives two problems: it
depends on libc6 (rather than libc6.1) and nextawg depends on it >=1.8.9-1.

warning: Hit heuristic-fence-post without finding
warning: enclosing function for address 0x3e8000003e8
This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
(for example, in a stripped executable). In that case, you may wish to
increase the size of the search with the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.
Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.
mailing anything gives the error
