Description Lars Müller 2005-12-16 11:33:24 UTC 
If we have a binary compiled and linked with PIE it's impossible to set a breakpoint in gdb.

See bug #1848 of http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb

As we compile Samba by default with PIE support if available it's available this is a problem for us.

Therefore we'll disable PIE in the case Samba will be configured with --enable-developer.  I know that this is only a partial workaround for developers as our Samba package is build without this option.

This is also valid for x86_64.

Hopefully this can be fixed. It's a major problem during betas
if one cannot debug most daemons.
Comment 6 Lars Müller 2006-03-06 16:55:47 UTC 
Move to Version Beta 6 and to Severity critical.
