Public bug reported:

The version of GCC shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 causes GDB to crash/hit an
assertion after loading the symbol file in some situations, making
debugging with source code information impossible then. When building
GCC (e. g. from Ubuntu source) with default configuration switches, the
problem does not occur. See GDB's bug tracker [1] for steps to
reproduce, a minimal test case and further information.
