This happens when I try to debug a Python process (py3k HEAD in pydebug mode):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/antoine/py3k/__svn__/python-gdb.py", line 52, in <module>
    _type_size_t = gdb.lookup_type('size_t')
RuntimeError: No type named size_t.

$ gdb --version
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.1-1mdv2010.1 (Mandriva Linux release 2010.1)
