Bug Description

Even though libc6-dbg contains the debugging symbols for ld-linux-x86-64.so, gdb cannot find them.

A workaround is the following series of commands in gdb:
info share ld-linux
    Note down the address in the "from" column and substitute it for ADDRESS in the next command.
add-symbol-file /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so ADDRESS
