I managed to build a linux x darwin cross compiler here, using the
osxcross tool.

Indeed, clang++ stumbles on a bunch of issues.  But then again, so
does clang in C-mode.

With gcc/g++ (5.3.0), and I see a few warnings/errors.  Configuring gdb with:

/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/configure --host=x86_64-apple-darwin15 CFLAGS="-g3 -O0" CXXFLAGS="-g3 -O0" --enable-build-with-cxx=no --enable-targets=all --disable-ld --disable-binutils --disable-gas

First off, I see a set of:

/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/main.c:486:27: warning: 'void* sbrk(int)' is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
lim_at_start = (char *) sbrk (0);
^

but I get that in C-mode too, so I'll ignore.

So, compiling with:

$ make -k WERROR_CFLAGS="-Wno-deprecated-declarations" 2>diagnostics.txt 1>/dev/null

I see just a few warnings / errors, and they all look easily fixable:

/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/aarch64-tdep.c: In function 'unsigned int aarch64_record_load_store(insn_decode_record*)':
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/aarch64-tdep.c:3479:78: error: invalid conversion from 'uint64_t* {aka long long unsigned int*}' to 'ULONGEST* {aka long unsigned int*}' [-fpermissive]
                      bits (aarch64_insn_r->aarch64_insn, 16, 20), &reg_rm_val);

                     ^

                     ^

I'll send patches later.

Thanks,
