I'm not sure which you mean by the main module loaded linked list, but I guess you mean the one we get the rest of the modules from. On my system (Fedora Core 1), the modules directly linked to wine-pthread/wine-kthread don't appear in the main module list (i.e. don't get listed at all when you run, for example, winedbg notepad).
That's very strange. I checked for example for gdb does and it never accesses the l_ld field, and assumes every loaded shared module is present in the unique ELF module list that we're already scanning. I could understand that we have some too strict tests somewhere, but I don't understand how it could be that we have to call DEBUG_WalkList recursively. So, could look at the entries in the dbg_hdr.r_map list and see whether or not the main libraries appear (will some unsupported flags for example).
(I'm currently working on fixing some of the issues of the debugger: get around WINELOADER issue, report unsupported debug format (like Dwarf2...)).
Cool. If this patch will get in your way, just let me know.
it actually does, but I'll submit a merged form A+
