[Gdb] gdbserver 5.0

[martin . bell]

hi,

I have built a gdbserver 5.0 suitable for the ARM architecture. 

Through testing I have found it to work fine on everything (gtk stuff 
included) but multi-threaded binaries - this is a fault of gdbserver 5.0 
and 5.1 and not the result of a bad build. It has been tested on 
familiar 0.4 and intimate and is okay.

 

The gdbserver README is easily found through google as a howto. It is 
important that for this to be useable, GDB on the host side must be 5.0 
and be configured as 

--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-linux

This makes that particular GDB only usable for cross-debugging from i686 
to arm - which is what you want.

Hint: a silly mistake I kept making was running gdb thinking I was 
running the cross-debugger when really (because of the PATH) I was 
running the native gdb. Use alias to over come this if you need to.

I have not tested the gdbserver on familiar 0.5 and would appreciate any 
feed back if someone does try it.

Thanks for all your help. I hope this is useful to you.

Martin.
