So the assertion error is because CLASSPATH isn't set.  It could at
least have a nicer error message for this case.  Using the contents of
BUILD_ENVIRONMENT in the top of the build tree gets me a little further
through:

warning: enclosing function for address 0x100e3998
This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
(for example, in a stripped executable).  In that case, you may wish to
increase the size of the search with the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.

Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.



I haven't looked any further than this yet...
