I had supposed (incorrectly, it seems) that, like GCC, GDB only supported either the O32 (in the IRIX 5 configuration) or N32/N64 (in the IRIX 6 configuration) ABIs. > The CVS version should build and work when configured as > mips-sgi-irix6, but I only tested that with n32 and -64 executables > (the latter is _known_ to be broken for now, see NEWS, but GDB never > supported -64 anyway). So it's possible that o32 has some issues, but > I did try not to break it when I fixed n32 support on Irix 6. While a mips-sgi-irix6.2 configuration is able to debug the O32-with-stabs hello-gcc that fails in the mips-sgi-irix5.3 configuration, the O32-with-mdebug binary still triggers the same internal error reported with my patch.
