My libtool wrapper script mainly sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and run .libs/program, I can't find reason why it should break something.

I prefer using gdb, but libtool --mode=execute ddd ./wireshask also works for me:

So it seems to be some user/distro-specific problem.

I'd start with checking if I really compiled with debug symbols (objdump -S/-W), and if I have access to these files from user i run wireshark,
and later blame wireshark/libtool/ddd/gdb/gcc/binutils developers ;-)

Cheers.
