Bug Description

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.
