As a workaround, compile your code with -gdwarf-2. - - -hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 --------------------- - -gdb/487: The top level make files used to build GDB are not compatible -with HP/UX make. As a workaround, use GNU make. - -gdb/486: The HP/UX C compiler defaults to K&R mode but GDB only builds -with an ISO C compiler.

It generates several errors and warnings regarding -unhandled core file section types, incorrect endianness, the failure to -load the registers. Are also incorrectly reported: The program name, the -cause of the program death, and the call stack at the moment of the -death. This problem has been reported on alpha-osf4.0f and alpha-osf5.1a. -To work-around the problem, add -D__digital__ to the CFLAGS when -building GDB vis: - - $ make CFLAGS='-O2 -D__digital__' - - -i[3456]86-*-linux* ------------------- - -gdb/660: gdb does not build with GNU/Linux libc5.
