Actually I have no solution for this. I guess this is due the fact that
the libraries include information from which object files they were
linked. But as the work directory is automatically cleaned after
installation, these object files are gone now.

I have no idea why /usr/bin/gdb doesn't show the same behavior, but be
aware that it is much older and has been patched by Apple.
