Is anyone planning on converting the sparc32 target over to use a target-function-call scheme similar to that of sparc64? ie. so that it doesn't have to execute code on the stack?
Apparently there is a security setting on Solaris that prohibits executing code on the stack, even on sparc32, to reduce the risk of being hacked into, and I'm guessing more and more companies are going to be adopting it in these uncertain times.
* Revised SPARC target
The SPARC target has been completely revised, incorporating the FreeBSD/sparc64 support that was added for GDB 6.0. As a result support for LynxOS and SunOS 4 has been dropped. Calling functions from within GDB on operating systems with a non-executable stack (Solaris, OpenBSD) now works.
