The configuration for PowerPC eABI in gdb-4.16 and gdb-4.16.97 doesn't seem to be complete. tm-ppc-eabi.h overrides the stackframe offset of the link register, assumes ELF files, and allows single-stepping, but most definitions are inherited from the RS/6000 AIX configuration. Significantly unchanged is find_toc_address_hook() for calling functions in the inferior. The full SVR4 eABI does not use an AIX TOC (and this does not seem to be aliased to SVR4 GOT support). The current eABI support looks more like the preliminary eABI support which mostly was AIX without function descriptors. Is this configuration complete? Are function calls to the inferior suppose to work? Thanks, David
