(gdb) r [nothing happens here; gdb is waiting forever] [hit ctrl-c] /proc/27076: Interrupted system call. init_inferior: wait_for_stop failed This is for all binaries. Gdb 5.3 works without a problem. Release: gdb 6.0 Environment: Tru64 v 5.1b (and 5.1). Gdb compiled with gcc 3.3.1
This is pretty old and probably not valid anymore. I have no way to test Tru64 support, but I would be curious if this bug is still present with a recent GDB.
The GDB project is planning on removing support for the following platforms: - MIPS IRIX (mips*-sgi-irix5*, mips*-sgi-irix6*) - Alpha Tru64 (alpha*-*-osf*) ... Our process for removing a platform is fairly fast by internet standards: If no one steps up, we will send this notice to gdb-announce a week from now. And then declare the removal a week after that. -- https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2014-09/msg00041.html
Thanks for the remind, Gary. Closing this as OBSOLETE.
