Re: SIGSEGV before main ? and gcc-debuginfo


Hi Marco,


I seem to have missed this...

It *is* a stack issue of some sort, otherwise it wouldn't have called
___chkstk_ms, which is the guard page handler.

Did you find out in the meantime?

If it's prior to main, it must be some constructor.  Other than that,
no idea.

Hmm, the relative path might break finding the debuginfo.  You
should be able to help gdb by calling

  (gdb) dir /usr/src/debug/gcc-4.9.3-1/libgcc/config/i386
