Built uclibc from snapshot dated 02/02/06 - this fixed the issue.

Hi,

I am attempting to run gdb/gdbserver on an Arm Linux board built using the
uclibc libraries.

Attempting to run an app causes an illegal instruction error (the simple hello
world app obviously runs normally).  One oddity is that the address that it
reports seems to contain a valid arm instruction.

I have seen some old posts on the forum, but being over two years old and
previous versions, I have ignored.

My uclibc version is 0.9.28
GCC 3.4.5
Linux kernel 2.6.12
GDB 6.3 (am building 6.4 at the moment)

Any thoughts or comments welcome and appreciated.


PaulB.
