[lldb-dev] Stack trace from within syscall on x86 Linux

[Chaoren Lin]

I found this bug from a year ago (
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=17384) that explains everything.

Greg, ObjectFileELF::CreateMemoryInstance is no longer just a stub. Do you
know if linux-gate.so is read but not parsed, or still not read at all?
