- Subject: File format not recognized in Solaris 2.8
Hi,
I'm trying to debug a threaded program in Solaris 2.8. Gdb 5.0 gives a
clearly bogus backtrace which apparently was a known problem in gdb 5 so
I tried gdb 6.0 instead. That didn't go much better; the backtrace is
the same but now there are only the first 4 frames.
That of course wasn't totally unexpected as the PROBLEMS file clearly
state that the sparc target hasn't been updated with the new frame
mechanism. Next attempt was the kettenis_sparc-20030918 branch which
boldly told me that my core file is in fact not a core file:
"core" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
Does anyone have any hints about how to get gdb to be more cooperative
about this problem? Is there anything I can to with the current gdb code
or will I have to wait for the next release?
