[Buildroot] buildroot + leon3 + gdb

[dosrulez at libero.it]

Hi,
I'm having a problem trying to build a specific linux kernel for leon3 & spartan6 (Xilinx). 
What I want is build a customized linux kernel using Buildroot and the toolchain provided by Gaisler, including an instance of gdb server which is going to be executed on the target.
Whenever I try to include gdb into the build process I get the error "Could not find gdbserver in external toolchain" and I cannot find a way to fix this.
Could you help me?

Thank you in advance!

Stefano

Sure, don't enable the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GDB_SERVER_COPY option.
You have this option enabled, but your toolchain does not have a
gdbserver included, so trying to copy it to the target (which is the
purpose of BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GDB_SERVER_COPY) cannot work.

Best regards,

Thomas
