https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533176#c4 I find it a bug in DWARF and gdb behaves correctly according to it. From the current DWARF's point of view the is a function call which you skip by "next". If you hide any /usr/lib/debug such as using: gdb -nx -ex 'set debug-file-directory /qwe' -ex 'file ./tpcommon_gfortran44' and use "step" command instead of "next" there it will work. (You need to hide debuginfo from libgomp as you would step into libgomp sources to maintain the threads for execution.) There should be some DWARF extension for it, currently tried to detect substring ".omp_fn." as this function is called "MAIN__.omp_fn.0" and do not consider such sub-function as a skippable by "next". Another problem is that with "set scheduler-locking" being "off" (default upstream) or "step" (default in F/RHEL) the simultaneous execution of the threads is inconvenient. Setting it to "on" will lockup the debugging as the threads need to get synchronized at some point. This is a more general debugging problem of GOMP outside of the scope of this Bug.
