gdb 5.0

gdb 5.0

[Tiziano Tosi]

Hi, all

my platform is:

RH9 (kernel 2.4.20-8), glibc-2.3.2-27.9 (updated)
When i build gdb 5.0 (gdb-5.0.tar.bz2), occured the following error:

[root@rh9 gdb-5.0] ./configure --target = arm-elf

[root@rh9 gdb-5.0]#

I don' t understand what kind of error it can be (i' m new to uClinux
developing)
Is it library problem?  Patching something ?
Can somebody give me some suggest ?
(if i try to build newest gdb distribuitions i see anothers kind of errors)

Thanks in advance.

Tiziano.

Sorry, but your RH9 install is a bit hosed.  Looks like your libc is
out of sync with its header files.  If you upgraded libc on that
system at some point in the past, you might try upgrading the
"developer" packages.  If this is fixed please try to compile a newer
gdb; 5.0 is quite old, and many bugs in it have been fixed.
