Bug ID: 17006
Summary: GDB cannot find symbols in macho - Mac OS X PowerPC
executable
Product: gdb
Version: 7.7
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: gdb

Summary: When I try to use the file command to load a program, it fails to find
any symbols in the program.

The file I use is a Mac OS X PowerPC Macho executable. GDB will say "Reading
Symbols" then say "(no debugging symbols found)...done".

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
GDB version: 7.7.1
GDB build options used: -target powerpc-apple-darwin

--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
On my 10.13 machine, reading debug info seems to work ok.
If you could attach a small test executable, maybe that would help.
If there is a directory full of separate debug info, be sure
to make a tar file & attach it all.
