Comments from Sergio Durigan Junior: The "proper" fix for this whole problem would be to backport the "ambiguous linespec" patch series. However, it is really not recommended to do that for RHEL GDB, because the patch series is too big and could introduce unwanted regressions. Instead, what we chose to do was to replace the gdb_assert call by a warning (which allows the user to continue the debugging session), and tell the user that, although more than one location was found for his/her breakpoint, only one will be used.
