I think you need to add one of the "debug" packages. I know that
some GNU/Linux distribution providers have a policy of providing
everything stripped by default, with the option of installing
debug packages when needed. I recommend the debug package be installed
when debugging Ada, as GDB needs the debugging information on a small
fraction of them in order to implement some of the functionality.
Exception handling is one of them.

Users of GNAT built from sources do not suffer from this issue
(of the stripped runtime), because the default mode for building
ensures that the few units we need are indeed built with debug info.
