This isn't ideal, but avoids the need for IA-64 hardware. http://www.software.hp.com/ia64linux See also gdb as an example of a user level program that knows how to single step other applications. Some early pre-hardware gdb development was done by running the simulator on an ia32 machine, booting the ia64 kernel on the simulator, running a gdbserver process on the kernel, and then connecting to this process over the network by a cross gdb (ia32-x-ia64). At that point, you could then run and debug ia64 applications, same as you can with a native ia64 gdb, though of course a lot slower. Jim
