Yes, unrelated.
This should work if you've got a version of libstdc++ compiled with
debug info. If you don't, then GDB can't find std::cout's type. This
works for me once the library is loaded (i.e. once the inferior is
running):


(gdb) p std::cout
$1 = <incomplete type>
(gdb) ptype std::cout
type = struct std::basic_ostream<char,std::char_traits<char> > {
    <incomplete type>
}
(gdb) start
