Does anyone know if > the BSDs use auxv, or is it entirely a GNU/Linux + Solaris thing? GDB doesn't have any auxv support on OpenBSD. There is some minimal auxv stuff in the kernel (just enough to implement stuff in the official ELF ABI), but it isn't really interesting, and there is no way for the debugger to get at it. I have no plans to implement it. I think the situation is similar for the other BSDs. Mark
