Hi Phil,

first of all why don't you put the question why you need the debugger at
all? What makes you debugging autofs?

You're faced with PIE ( "position independent executable" )
Have a close look at the configure options and or the make flags.
I think you can switch it off. Also there are gdb versions which can
debug PIE. However I didn't suceed compiling them ( I didn't try very
hard)

HTH - good luck
