Thank you Jens, I have forgotten the linker and searched only in C 
compiler flags, which has pic but not pie.

After reading a bit about that, I think that this limitation is inherent 
to the pie executable. So, I should probably use gdb as the right 
debugger for shared library in Anjuta.


By the way, Tony, it's an easy fix.

The list of MIME type supported by the gdb plugin in Anjuta is written 
in the file
        <prefix>/lib/anjuta/anjuta-gdb.plugin
with prefix which is typically /usr if you have installed Anjuta via 
your distribution or /usr/local if you compile it. In addition lib can 
be replaced by lib64 on some system.

In this file there is the following line
  [File Loader]

SupportedMimeTypes=application/x-executable,application/octet-stream,application/x-core,application/x-shellscript

You just need to add application/x-sharedlib here.
