[issue17833] test_gdb broken PPC64 Linux

[David Edelsohn]

David Edelsohn added the comment:

Thanks for explaining the issue with GLibc symbols.  The Python test definitely should not fail if debugging symbols are installed.

The "dot" symbols should no longer occur with modern PowerLinux installations.  They were a carry-over from the AIX ABI on which the PPC64 Linux ABI is based.
