 Hi Michael,
I have attached the config.cache.emb which we have defined most of the
configure macros.

Many thanks in advance,
Bizhan

Here is how we build the gdb in our environment:
First we edit the config.cache.emb file with the following statement:
ac_cv_header_sys_reg_h=${ac_cv_header_sys_reg_h=no}
ac_cv_lib_ncurses_tgetent=${ac_cv_lib_ncurses_tgetent=yes}
srv_cv_thread_db=${srv_cv_thread_db="-lthread_db"}

Second we run the configure command as below:
sh configure --prefix=/usr --cache-file=config.cache.emb
--target=powerpc-linux-gnuspe --disable-sim cd gdb/gdbserver sh
configure --prefix=/usr --cache-file=../../config.cache.emb
--host=powerpc-linux-gnuspe --target=powerpc-linux-gnuspe

>By the way, what does "powerpc-linux-gnuspe"... mean?
Our platform is based on MPC8541 powerpc processor from freescale. All
of our toolchain have The "powerpc-linux-gnuspe" prefix for example the
C compiler is:
Powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc

Many thanks in advance,
Bizhan

Well, I don't even want to look at that, until I know where it came from.
If this is a gdb from a fork other than ours, eg. from Freescale, you need
to go to them for help.
