>Description:

When invoked wiht -q (quiet, supposed to suppress initial messages) to analyze
a core dump, gdb still prints lots of "no debugging symbols found" messages,
but ommits the shared library file name - so the messages are all totally
meaningless. Example from an atf test run (first line is from atf-run):

Test program crashed; attempting to get stack trace
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)

Core was generated by `t_pr'.

>How-To-Repeat:
just invoke gdb -q on a core generated by a standard binary from a NetBSD
distribution.

>Fix:
Either suppress the (no debugging symobls found) messages with -q, or don't
suppress the loading file name info. For atf, I would prefer the former
slightly.
