.Ss "Issues with GDB 6.5"
Some architectures (arm, i386, powerpc and sparc64) have switched to a newer
gdb version (6.5) in this release.
Unfortunately support for debugging programs using the SA (scheduler
activation) based thread library, is incomplete in this gdb version.
Furthermore kernel crashdumps can not be debugged due to a missing
identification in the kernel binaries.
