The output is: gdb 5.0: -------- GDB knows about the following PowerPC and RS6000 variants: ppc-uisa PowerPC UISA - a PPC processor as viewed by user-level code rs6000 IBM RS6000 ("POWER") architecture, user-level view 403 IBM PowerPC 403 403GC IBM PowerPC 403GC 505 Motorola PowerPC 505 860 Motorola PowerPC 860 or 850 601 Motorola PowerPC 601 602 Motorola PowerPC 602 603 Motorola/IBM PowerPC 603 or 603e 604 Motorola PowerPC 604 or 604e 750 Motorola/IBM PowerPC 750 or 740 gdb 5.1: -------- Requires an argument. Valid arguments are rs6000:6000, rs6000:rs1, rs6000:rsc, rs6000:rs2, powerpc:common, powerpc:603, powerpc:EC603e, powerpc:604, powerpc:403, powerpc:601, powerpc:620, powerpc:630, powerpc:a35, powerpc:rs64ii, powerpc:rs64iii, powerpc:7400, powerpc:MPC8XX, auto. gdb 5.2.1: ---------- Requires an argument. Valid arguments are rs6000:6000, rs6000:rs1, rs6000:rsc, rs6000:rs2, powerpc:common, auto. As you may see, the definition of the variants of powerpc vary considerably from one version to another, and I would like to know what will be the futur of this command: it looks like it is being deprecated, with less and less variants supported. Is that true ? Or is it only that the existing code is more generic ? Thanks, -- Romain
