NetBSD/VAX?

NetBSD/VAX?

[Andrew Cagney]

Jason,

NetBSD/VAX (GDB's only VAX system) doesn't build as a native debugger 
(it never has).  It is missing changes to configure.host that stop it 
configuring.  I suspect it lacks other stuff.

Any thoughts on what to do here?

enjoy,
Andrew

At one point before 5.3, I had changes to bring the vax-netbsd* target 
totally up-to-date.  I don't exactly remember why I didn't check them 
in.

Anyway, I can probably dig them up and try to bring them up-to-date 
again.

(Sigh, I haven't had time to work on GDB in *so* long...)

Thanks!  The most immediate problem is configure.host, 
config/vax/nbsd.mh, and ptrace - none of that's in place, and trying to 
use vaxbsd.mh leads to build errors.

I can probably look at the frame code after that (which is actually why 
I'm trying to build it :-)
