Description:
Since my last system upgrade gdb fails to stop debuggees at breakpoints. Message "During startup program exited normally" is printed when the debuggee finishes execution. Interestingly, running gdb as a root solves the problem (obviously not a recommended solution). Additional info: * package version(s) core/gcc 4.8.2-6 (base-devel) [installed] extra/gdb 7.6.2-1 [installed] * config and/or log files etc. Default configuration. Steps to reproduce: [deffi@arch Desktop]$ cat test.c #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("hello\n"); return 0; } [deffi@arch Desktop]$ gcc -g -O0 test.c -o test [deffi@arch Desktop]$ gdb ./test GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6.2 Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I downgraded to the previous gdb version (gdb-7.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) and the issue still exists.

Note that two packages are prevented from upgrade on my system: (probably irrelevant, but let's be thorough)
automake (1.13.2 installed)
