gdb 6.8 build errors in Solaris 5.8

gdb 6.8 build errors in Solaris 5.8

[Klaus Zeitler]

While producing gdb 6.8 for Solaris 5.8 I ran into 2 problems:

1. In /vol/freeware/SunOS-5.8/build/gdb-6.8/etc

I could resolve those two problems easily.
The first one by replacing stdint.h with inttypes.h in gstdint.h.
The 2nd one by replacing
  sprintf (rs->buf, "vAttach;%x", pid);
with
  sprintf (rs->buf, "vAttach;%x", (unsigned int)pid);
in file remote.c

Are these known problems or should I file a bug report?

Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is a question, and the answer
is Linux, the choice of the GNU (http://www.gnu.org) generation.

You may want to check a CVS snapshot.  I think they're both fixed.

Did that and yes you're right, both problems are gone.
I could verify that for remote.c, but the file gstdint.h doesn't exist
anymore (I assume that got solved in some other way).

Unfortunately I ran into new build problems with the CVS snapshot:

gcc -g -O2      \
                -o gdb gdb.o libgdb.a \
                   ../readline/libreadline.a ../opcodes/libopcodes.a ../bfd/libbfd.a -lintl ../libiberty/libiberty.a ../libdecnumber/libdecnumber.a     -ldl -lncurses -lz -lsocket -lnsl -lm   ../libiberty/libiberty.a  gnulib/libgnu.a

Maybe somebody can give me a hint for this.
