gdb-7.2 can't build with lttng-ust-0.12

["Cui, Dexuan" <dexuan dot cui at intel dot com>]

Hi, I found gdb 7.2 can't build with lttng-ust 0.12 due to the API change(http://www.mail-archive.com/ltt-dev@lists.casi.polymtl.ca/msg01839.html) in lttng-ust 0.12. BTW, gdb-7.2 builds fine with lttng-ust 0.11.

I also tried ftp://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/snapshots/branch/gdb-7.2.90.20110425.tar.bz2 and got the same error:

For now, we have to use  --without-ust to disable ust in gdb-7.2. :-(

I reported http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12699 to record the issue.

Is there a plan to support lttng-ust 0.12?

Thanks!
