i8086 debugging issues.

[Scott Robinson]

I am attempting to debug i8086 (16-bit) code with gdb, but am running
into a problem. This problem occurs with the gdb remotes in both bochs
and qemu.

My issue is the program counter. Specifically, $pc is mapped to $eip -
which isn't strictly valid in 16-bit mode. To obtain information about
the actual current $pc, I need to perform the calculation manually.
(($cs << 4) + $eip)

Manually setting $pc causes the system to panic, obviously. :-(

In short, is there a way to make gdb cognizent of the segment registers?

Scott.
