How to build gdb and gdbserver

[Yves Rutschle]

Hi Peter,


[build gdbserver]

> make
> popd

You can't use that configuration; GDB is not actually
cross-compiled, as it *only* runs on your host, and the build
process doesn't handle using cross-compilers for gdbserver.

IIRC, the idea is simply to compile gdbserver separately as a
normal cross-compiled program (CC=powerpc-linux-gcc, make, and
it should work if it doesn't need any specific patches...)

HTH,
Yves
