Comment(by neil_mayhew@…):

 The things mentioned here are still problems with `gcc46` and `gdb` (7.3),
 but there are really two separate problems:

  1. `gdb` segfaults on reading symbols from the program file.
  2. `gcc` has faulty debugging information in its shared libraries (eg
 `libstdc++`) which causes annoying messages when using the system `gdb` to
 debug programs built with the MacPorts `gcc`.

 Problem 2 is a `gcc` issue, of course, to do with how gcc is built, and
 should be filed as an issue against `gcc46`.

 Although problem 1 is a `gdb` issue, the title of this one really doesn't
 reflect what's happening, so there needs to be a new issue for that too.
