gdb 8.1-0ubuntu3.1 freezes before call main function while debugging 32bit application

[Wladyslaw Ostrowski]

gdb 8.1ubuntu3.1 run binary 64bit without problem.
If compile for 32bit target (g++ -m32 ..) then it can't load libraries
before call main(), i mean it gets frozen.
gdb 8.1-0ubuntu3 works with 32 and 64 bit binaries without problem.

Here is log:
g++ -m32 -o test test.cpp
gdb ./test

Workaround is to hold previous gdb version in apt.

apt purge gdb
apt install gdb=8.1-0ubuntu3
echo "gdb hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
