AFAIK there's currently nobody taking care of gdb on Linux/PPC. In fact we are lucky that Kevin Buettner's old patch could be converted to 4.17.x. Unfortunately it's still not integrated into gdb's mainline due to copyright issues, so we have to reintegrate the patch in every new version :-(. So, is someone willing to take care of gdb on Linux/PPC? Kevin, as a first measure, do you pass LD_BIND_NOW=1 in the environment? Franz. [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
