Hi Dan; Determining the order of the ncurses patches is proving difficult :-( Would be nice if it were like multiple rpm pkgs being supplied to rpm -Uvh...rpm figures out which one has to go first... Yes, will look carefully at the gdb configure script... Yes, the coredump is from a multi-threaded arm9 app. The developer claims that an i686 multi-threaded app coredump can be viewed just fine using gdb 5.x. He doesn't need (yet) to have live multi-threaded gdb debugging ability, just the ability to look at the coredump.
