I am trying to debug my executable created from gcc-4.7.2(i686-pc-linux-gnu).  gdb throws an error "cannot find bounds of current function error" the moment the program steps into strrchr function and Im not able to debug my executable after that point. Im not sure if the dwarf records are corrupted or if the problem is with glibc.  I did disassemble the code and noticed that epilogue/prologue sequence for the same was replaced with a call to  "86b4900
<__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx>".  I'm also unable to debug the executable after calls to few functions which have hand-written assembly in glibc.

(gdb) r

221        if (rva) {
(gdb)
222          int val=0;
(gdb)
224          if (1==fscanf(rva, "%d", &val)) {

225        if (val) {
(gdb)
237          fclose(rva);
(gdb)
242          } else if (val) {
(gdb)
273      main_config.argv0short = strrchr(argv[0], '/');
(gdb)
0x08048430 in ?? ()

However if I step-into strrchr function I can continue with debugging.
 I'm not sure if the problem is with gdb or If I'm missing some
compilation
flags while compiling glibc.

Below is the dwarfdump output of strrchr and let me know if it is
missing some important info.
