Title:
  gdb cannot break on entry point for statically linked binaries

Status in GNU Debugger:
  Invalid
Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdb

  See the following transcript:

  $ gdb /sbin/ldconfig

  This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu"...
  (no debugging symbols found)
  Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

  Symbols from "/sbin/ldconfig".

  (gdb) break *0x8048110
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048110
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /sbin/ldconfig 
  warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint
  (no debugging symbols found)
  /sbin/ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied

  Program exited with code 01.
  (gdb) quit

  
  gdb should break after loading the binary, but before executing any instructions. It doesn't.

  I am using feisty with gdb 6.6.dfsg-1ubuntu2 on a Samsung X20 XVM 1730
  V laptop (i386 architecture).
