Description howarth.mailing.lists@gmail.com 2009-10-02 23:33:59 UTC

The current gdb 7.0 branch and gdb cvs builds a usable gdb on the x86_64-apple-darwin10 target which 
works normally when run as root with one exception. The resulting gdb is unable to load i386 executables 
(unlike the linux version). Loading a 32-bit executable in the x86_64 gdb on darwin10 produces the error 
message...

This GDB was configured as "x86_64-apple-darwin10".

I can't reproduce this on Darwin 15.3.0 (El Capitan) with gdb 7.9.1

Comment 2 Marc-Andre Laperle 2016-01-24 19:37:30 UTC

Is it possible that the executable had both i386 and x86_64? I can reproduce that. This would be the same as bug 13157.

Comment 3 Marc-Andre Laperle 2016-05-02 20:07:11 UTC

I'll mark this as a duplicate for now as it is likely the same issue and I can reproduce it.
