Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdb

Hi,

gdb will ftbfs in Intrepid due to -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 being default.
It has (at least) an unchecked fgets() call in linux-nat.c, as can be
seen at

http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gdb/linux-nat.c?rev=1.86&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src

When a fix for this is found it would be great to fix bug 239244 as well.

Thanks,

James
