>Organization:
>Environment:
sparc64-sun-solaris2.10
>Description:
The sigbpt.exp test fails because when stepping out of a signal trampoline, Solaris does not return directly to the faulting instruction. It passes thru various procedures in the C library, various PROCEDURE_LINKAGE_TABLE routines and finally into setcontext before context is set back to the faulting user procedure.

The current test does not allow for any of this.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd .../gdb-6.3/gdb/testsuite
runtest --tool=gdb GDB=../gdb gdb.base/sigbpt.exp
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.
Test Run By src_dev on Tue Nov 15 18:08:04 2005
Native configuration is sparc-sun-solaris2.10

>Fix:
Add catch all case to sigbpt.exp. In the case it does not recognise the next instruction, then just keep stepping:
