bugs in gdb6.0?

[Robert Trask]

I've recently obtained gdb 6.0 and tried using as a remote debugger.

I configured thus:

mkdir objdir
cd objdir
../configure --target=mips-linux --with-sysroot=(my mips shared lib
path)
make

I also tried configuring with the --with-solib-absolute-prefix=(shared
lib path) instead of --with-sysroot=(path).
In either case when I run gdb I get the message:

lc-sj1-408.sj.broadcom.com{rtrask}152: gdb usrapp -x localgdbinit

I can make this problem go away by including a line in my .gdbinit file
thus:
set solib-search-path <shared lib path>

Is the build configuration option for this broken or am I missing
something? There are no complaints during configuration or building.


thx,
