That makes this RC for 0.06-1 and blocks its testing migration.

However, given the past history and the tight coupling with gdb, I
suspect 0.05-1 in wheezy is also affected. Tagging 'sid' for now (and
I hope that's the right thing to do), but it would be good to verify if
it currently builds in wheezy on armel.

FWIW, here's a summary of the build logs. The failure mode seems to have
changed a bit with the gdb 7.4 builds: the logs now indicate an empty
backtrace instead of a corrupted one.

source_version   gdb_version   perl_version   result   notes
0.05-1           7.2-1         5.10.1-14      FAIL     5 failures
0.05-1           7.2-1         5.10.1-18      FAIL     5 failures
0.05-1           7.3-1         5.12.4-4       OK
0.05-1           7.3-1+b1      5.14.2-3       OK
0.06-1           7.4really-1   5.14.2-7       FAIL     1 failure
0.06-1           7.4.1-1.1     5.14.2-9       FAIL     4 failures

BTW, gdb_7.4.1-1.1 fixes "LinuxThreads signal handling on GNU/kFreeBSD",
so it might be worth a try to reschedule this on kfreebsd-amd64 which
has been failing consistently up to and including 7.4really-1 with
related symptoms.
