Re: error using gdb 5.3 target powerpc-eabisimaltivec




I am using gdb 5.3 for debugging applications developed for a powerpc-aebisimaltivec target on a linux-x86 host

I am using gcc-3.3.1, binutils-2.14.90.0.6 and newlib-1.11.0

But I obtain an error when try to run my program under gdb

--------------------
$ powerpc-eabisimaltivec-gcc -o hello -g hello.c

hello.c is a simple hello world program using printf and without any altivec vector instructions

$ powerpc-eabisimaltivec-gdb hello
GNU gdb 5.3

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=powerpc-eabisimaltivec"...

(gdb) target sim
Connected to the simulator.

(gdb) load

(gdb) run

Starting program: /users/scratch/alvarez/altivec/tutorial/hello

Does GDB 5.3 include altivec support? I suspect you want GDB 6.0 (or GDB's current mainline), I also think the tuple is "powerpc-eabialtivec".
