As soon as I step into the newly loaded binary, I only see assembly code, with that ugly “No source available” in Eclipse:
But wait: GDB is able to do pretty much everything you can imagine, so here is how to debug multiple binaries with GDB and Eclipse, and to turn the above into something which is easy to debug:
