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).
