[vlc-devel] No longer able to use gdb with vlc

[R. Bernstein]

Tried compiling gdb 6.3 (of around November 10) from the source. 
Same thing: 

  dwarf2read.c:5446: internal-error: could not find partial DIE in cache

  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.
  Quit this debugging session? (y or n) n
