Arch Linux

Description: a simple rust program compiled with cargo causes an internal gdb assertion to fail while backtracing from a segfault.

Additional info:
* package version(s): gdb 13.1-1, rustup 1.25.2-1 (using the current stable toolchain, 1.68.1)
* config and/or log files etc.: N/A, reproduces with `gdb --nh ...`
* link to upstream bug report, if any

A similar bug report has been filed for Debian:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031745

It seems that they have patched this issue on their end (but I haven't tested it).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a sample `crashing` project with cargo (it's important to use cargo to build the project):

$ cargo new crashing

2. Add the following code to `main.rs`:

// main.rs
use std::sync::Once;
static INIT: Once = Once::new();
fn main() {
INIT.call_once(|| unsafe {
*(0xaabbccdd as *mut usize) = 1234;
});
}

2. Compile and run with gdb:

$ cargo b
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.00s

$ gdb target/debug/crashing
