new attempt gdb-5.0 and glibc-2.2.3 on linuxppc

[Andreas Tobler]

Hi,

today I cvs'ed and built the gdb for linuxppc again. Below the patch I
had to apply to make it build. Note, I didn't test it.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
Andreas

The changes that you needed to make to bfd/configure and opcodes/configure
are likely due to some sort of mismatch between the version of libtool
that you have on your system vs. the version of autoconf that was used
to generate these scripts.  This matter will need to be taken up with
the binutils folks (binutils@sources.redhat.com).

Your change to gdb/gregset.h makes sense to me, but I am not the
maintainer of this file and, therefore, cannot approve it.  (I'm not
sure who the maintainer is; my guess is Michael Snyder since he's the
original author of this file.)

I am the maintainer for gdb/config/nm-linux.h and gdb/ppc-linux-nat.c.
These changes can go in once the changes to gdb/gregset.h have been
approved and committed.  (I can check these in for you if you like.)

My autoconf is version 2.14.1 and automake is 1.4-p1. Binutils is the
latest available 2.11.90.0.8.

If the fix is correct yes please since I have nothing to do gdb dev. 


Thank you,

Shall I trigger him directly? I saw he's around, but maybe due to the
subject he does not read the post.

Thx

I've been on vacation for two weeks, but I since I don't see any
further messages on this matter, it does seem like a good idea to
send your patch to Michael directly.
