Contrary to the GDB 5.1.1 announcement, the update did not contain |
|
|
|
fixes to a i386 floating point problem. The latest sources do contain |
|
|
|
the fix and it will be included in GDB 5.2. |

hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 |
|
|
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to a problem (conflicting types) with libiberty/regex.c, GDB 5.1 |
|
|
|
does not build on HP/UX 10.20 when using the HP supplied compiler. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to bit rot, GDB 5.1 does not work on HP/UX 10.20 when built with |
|
|
|
GCC. |

hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to a problem with ltconfig and long argument lines, GDB 5.1 does |
|
|
|
not configure on HP/UX 11.00. |

alpha-dec-osf5.1 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB 5.1 has a number of problems on this platform (Ref PR gdb/237). A |
|
|
|
GDB 5.1 built with ``CC="cc -DUSE_LDR_ROUTINES"'' is reported to work |
|
|
|
much better. |

|
|

|

alpha-dec-osf4.0e |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB 5.1 is known to have problems on this platform (encounters an |
|
|
|
internal error in the symbol table reader). |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are known problems with building GDB 5.1 using GCC 3.0.x for the |
|
|
|
64 bit SPARC target (bad code gen). You could try a development |
|
|
|
version of GCC. |

i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1 |
|
|
|
gdb/487: The top level make files used to build GDB are not compatible |
|
|
|
with HP/UX make. As a workaround, use GNU make. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are known problems with GDB 5.1's thread support on this |
|
|
|
platform. Non-threaded programs should work. |
|
|
|
gdb/486: The HP/UX C compiler defaults to K&R mode but GDB only builds |
|
|
|
with an ISO C compiler. The top level configuration incorrectly sets |
|
|
|
CC to `cc' instead of `cc -Ae'. As a workaround, the correct compiler |
|
|
|
can be specified as part of the configuration vis: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ 'CC=cc -Ae' ./configure |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*-*-* |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB 5.1 assumes that the host C compiler implemends alloca(). GCC is |
|
|
|
one such compiler. This problem should be fixed on the trunk. |
