If you keep the generated file checked in, there's no such problem. gcc would only be necessary when making _changes_ to the fixed page thing, to regenerate the blob. If someone wants to make some change to the fixed page implementation in gdb, _and_ that someone can't get a prebuilt bfin gcc for some reason, she can always start by building bfin binutils, then bfin gcc, and only _then_ build bfin gdb using the host gcc + the just built cross bfin-gcc for regenerating the fixed user page blob. > any other feedback ? :) Not at the moment. :-) Thanks for addressing this. -- Pedro Alves
