Symbol format 'elf32-xc16x' unknown. This means that GDB supports a.out, coff, and ecoff. 4 and 5 are xcoff and ELF. Earlier versions of GDB always included ELF support. New versions only include ELF support if they detect ELF support in BFD, by compiling a program which uses bfd_get_elf_phdr_upper_bound (see gdb/configure.ac). So is this function missing from BFD for xc16x? If so how? It looks to me like it should be there. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
