cross-compile gdb questions...

[dony]

Hi, all

       Does anyone have successfully cross-compiled gdb so that we can
get a cross-debug tool "powerpc-linux-gdb"? I need these to communicate
with gdbserver posted by Dan.
      Thanks very much

Hi, Ben:
      I have tried this before but failed. When I run "make" , it shows
many warnings and "undefined reference to ..." errors.
     So how do you solve it?
     Thanks very much.
