Reference to old glob directory in gdb 6.5 makefile

Reference to old glob directory in gdb 6.5 makefile

[Ian C White]

I'm trying to build gdb 6.5 on an ibm Power 5 running AIX 5.3 and get the 
following error: 

config.status: creating glob/Makefile
config.status: error: coannot find input file: glob/Makefile.in
make[2]: *** [stamp-h] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '~/gdb-6.5/gdb'

From the thread referenced in the link below, I understand that I'm not 
the only one to encounter this problem, which seems to relate to version 
control.

Many thanks,

No - no one seems to know where it comes from or how.  Can you figure
out what in your configure script causes it to create glob/Makefile?

I solved this issue by taking the gdb 6.6 source from sourceware.org. I 
got the other source from 

http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu

Now I've built gdb and, when I run a program in gdb, I get the following 
message:

[tcsetpgrp failed in terminal_inferior: Not owner]
warning: no shared library support for this OS / ABI
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x1a968: I/O error. 

osabi is set to "auto", which means "AIX". The tcsetpgrp error is the 
result of attach_flag not being set. 

What is the current state of support for aix5 on powerpc? Is this a gdb 
issue or a bfd issue? 

Many thanks,

Interesting.  I will recommend people take sources directly from
sourceware.org / gnu.org the next time this is reported.

These I am afraid I don't know.  Joel tests on AIX; last I remember, it
was a bit bad, but not this broken.

I don't know either. I just reran the testsuite on AIX. The results
are not up to par with the better ones, but it's still OK. I searched
the testsuite output (gdb.log), and found no occurrence of this problem.
