I'm still trying to hunt down where this SIGILL I'm hitting is coming from, and the next obstacle I've hit is some missing debuginfo packages, specifically:
libGLEW-debuginfo
libXau-debuginfo
libXext-debuginfo
mesa-libGLU-debuginfo

Any chance those could be added the the debuginfo repository?
Without them gdb chokes before it gets to the SIGILL line.
