Hi,
currently not in the FSF GDB repository.
There is a patch for it for gdb-6.8 (being ported to HEAD now)
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewvc/rpms/gdb/devel/gdb-6.6-buildid-locate.patch?view=co
but it has currently merged two unrelated functionalities:
(a) The expected locating of appropriate binaries from a bare core file.
(b) Reporting missing debuginfo rpms from missing .debug files.
The patch will get submitted for a review for FSF GDB after some cleanups.
Regards,
Jan
