Update Information:

Instructions on how to test this issue are described at:

<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00020.html>

TL;DR:

Make sure you have LibreOffice installed, along with its debuginfo files and all other debuginfo files for the dependencies (GDB will teach you how to install missing debuginfo files).
