When you debug Wireshark from the root build directory, use libtool as
follows:
libtool --mode=execute gdb ./wireshark
Otherwise, you'll be debugging the libtool wrapper script called
wireshark (which calls .libs/wireshark after setting up the proper
library paths and such).
If you wait to debug it until it's installed, the debugging symbols will
be stripped by make install. I can usually debug Wireshark without
needing to turn off optimizations (-O0).
