Title:
  GDB fails to get a valid backtrace while debugging a Webkit SIGSEGV

Status in Linaro GDB:
  Invalid
Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdb

  Ubuntu libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 1.3.12-0ubuntu2 package crashes while
  initializing Webkit with a SIGSEGV (bug 728211) on ARM.

  While starting the Webkit-only Browser example
  (/usr/lib/webkitgtk-1.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher) with GDB, it fails to
  get a proper BT, even after installing the proper debug symbols.
