GDB 5.0 doesn't work on Linux/SPARC
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are two parts to this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o GDB 5.0 doesn't work on GNU/Linux/SPARC32
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o GDB 5.0 doesn't work on the new target
|
||||||
|
GNU/Linux/SPARC64
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GDB does build on both these targets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first problem is the one that should be fixed.
