FYI, there are a few, uhm, instabilities in 64bit Debian-based
installations (Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS server, i.e. not Debian),
gdb issues, and lo and behold, even a segfault when running
64bit Spark tools.  See also gcc:#39264, Ubuntu:#219342.


(gdb) file main
"/path/to/main": not in executable format: File format not recognized
$ file main
main: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
 for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
 not stripped

Both, compiler (gcc-4.2) and Debugger announce to be targetting
x86_64... ``This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu".''
Setting the architecture seems to have no effect.

The newer 8.10 has switched to GCC 4.3 and provides package gdb64,
but it doesn't mention Ada support.
