loading shared library

["Frank van Eijkelenburg" <frank.van.eijkelenburg@technolution.nl>]

Hi all,

I've a linux machine with RedHat installed with linux kernel 2.4.7. GDB 5.3
is running. I crosscompiled the gdbserver for an ARM platform (with linux
2.4.16-rmk2). when I try to debug a simple multithreaded program, I get an
error when loading the shared libraries:

(gdb) info sharedlibrary
From        To          Syms Read   Shared Object Library
0x40023020  0x4002c35c  No          /lib/libpthread.so.0
0x40054400  0x401563d0  No          /lib/libc.so.6
0x40001e50  0x40012e80  No          /lib/ld-linux.so.2
(gdb) sharedlibrary
Reading symbols from /lib/libpthread.so.0...done.
Ignoring packet error, continuing...

Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.2...done.
Error while reading shared library symbols:

putpkt: write failed: Broken pipe.
(gdb)

At the target side, I've a segmentation fault. The simple program is linked
against an unstripped libpthread. This library exists at the target. The
only possible problem in my opinion, is that gdbserver is linked against
libthread_db which itself is compiled against libc 2.2.4 while the target is
working with libc 2.1.3. Could this be a problem, or is it something else
what causes this behaviour???

Thanx,
Frank
