I'm trying to debug a segfault in PHP/Apache running on RHEL4.

This is a production server, so I'm trying to install a separate copy of apache and php, and run apache through gdb.

When I load httpd through gdb and then do run -X, I get the error (no debugging symbols found)...Error while reading shared library symbols: Dwarf Error: Cannot handle DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader.

The Apache manual says something about setting EXTRA_CFLAGS to "-g", and i've tried configuring with --enable-maintainer-mode, but I don't seem to be getting far.
