GDB can't run any binaries

GDB can't run any binaries

[Carlos Eduardo Seo]

Hello

Is anyone experiencing problems with the latest CVS-head on i386? Every 
time I run a binary, it segfaults:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/cseo/test/build/gdb/gdb

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This is a clean build, btw. And I haven't seen this happen on ppc64.

Thanks and regards,

Hmm, I'm getting pretty standard results with a clean build:

    # of expected passes            12553
    # of unexpected failures        25
    # of unexpected successes       1
    # of expected failures          40
    # of known failures             57
    # of unresolved testcases       1
    # of untested testcases         8
    # of unsupported tests          16

gdb version  6.8.50.20080514-cvs

I also was able to start GDB and debug GDB with it, so it's probably
a problem on your side.
