For about 9 years now, when loading a core dump from a Linux target into
mainline GDB, the user is greeted with:
Can't read pathname for load map:Input/output error.
Since this is caused by an oversight in the dynamic loader, Jan
Kratochvil has (re-)addressed the issue on the glibc mailing list:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00364.html
AFAIK, nothing has happened since. But even if the glibc bug is
ultimately fixed, in my opinion the GDB warning should be suppressed
anyhow, for the benefit of users with back-level glibc versions. The
proposed patch should do that and shouldn't cause any harm (right?):
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00504.html
Is it now time to apply this?
