This means that the core file doesn't have enough information for GDB to 
find the source and/or debug info about shared libraries.  therefore, you 
cannot put breakpoints in shared libraries unless you rerun the program.  
(Rerunning the program makes this info available to GDB.)  This is 
irrelevant for you, since you are debugging a core dump, where 
breakpoints cannot be used anyway.

This means that GDB cannot find the Emacs executable file.  How did you 
invoke GDB, exactly?

In any case, I'd say you should report this to the GDB mailing list 
(gdb@sources.redhat.com) and ask whether these are known problems, 
especially since the other version of GDB didn't have the second problem.
