Bug description:
  After upgrading gdb from 8.1-0ubuntu3 to 8.1-0ubuntu3.1, gdb does not
  stop on breakpoint when running a 32-bit application (on 64-bit
  Ubuntu). This can be reproduced with a simple “hello world” program:

  $ cat hello.c 
  #include <stdio.h>
  int main()
  {
     // printf() displays the string inside quotation
     printf("Hello, World!");
     return 0;
  }
  $ gcc -ggdb -m32 hello.c
  $ gdb a.out
  (gdb) b hello.c:5
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x536: file hello.c, line 5.
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /home/user/sandbox/a.out 
  warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf7fd9be0 to 0xfffffffff7fd9be0.
  warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf7fda195 to 0xfffffffff7fda195.
  warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf7fdbd1c to 0xfffffffff7fdbd1c.
  warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf7fdb924 to 0xfffffffff7fdb924.
  warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf7fe99b3 to 0xfffffffff7fe99b3.
  warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf7fea401 to 0xfffffffff7fea401.
  warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf7fea706 to 0xfffffffff7fea706.

  --- (and not stopping nor outputting the text…) ---

  It works well with a 64-bit build (leaving out the gcc’s -m32 option).
