 Hi, running MacPorts 2.3.2 (clean install) on Yosemite (clean install)
 with current Xcode (6.1).

 I just compiled something with MacPorts' GCC 4.8 that worked fine on
 Mavericks, but now produces a segfault.

 In order to debug the issue with MacPorts' gdb I did another build of the
 application in question with -O0 -g.

 Then I tried to use gdb to obtain a stack backtrace of the crash in the
 application, however there is no usable output:

 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
 0x00007fff8fc64432 in ?? ()
 (gdb) bt
 #0  0x00007fff8fc64432 in ?? ()
 #1  0x0000000100204bd9 in ?? ()
 #2  0x00000001000a2690 in ?? ()
 #3  0x00000000000060f1 in ?? ()
 #4  0x000000010004cf78 in ?? ()
 #5  0x00007fff5fbff328 in ?? ()
 #6  0x0000000000000070 in ?? ()
 #7  0x000000010004d15d in ?? ()
 #8  0x00000001000a69c0 in ?? ()
 #9  0x00000001000c9088 in ?? ()
 #10 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

 On Linux, this works, i.e. it gives me a backtrace, on Mac OS X with
 MacPorts' gdb this has never worked, I can't remember when I had a decent
 backtrace on OS X when developing with gcc and gdb on the command line.
 I'm not doing anything strange, so I can't quite understand what's going
 on...
