A shared object was built on RedHat Linux and while all the code was compiled with debug, the debugger (gdb) refused to load the symbols and issued an error as in:
...
GNU gdb Fedora (6.8-37.el5)
...
This GDB was configured as "x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu"...
Dwarf Error: wrong version in compilation unit header (is 4, should be 2) [in module libgrokf.so]
With this error, I could not get break points to trigger in any function nor see proper stack trace. I recompiled the entire project but nothing helped. I do know that some time in the past there was no problem in debugging that module.
What is causing this problem?
