Hi Daniel,

	First of all thanks for your reply.
I searched " bfd_get_elf_phdr_upper_bound" function, I found it in the
following files:
 
bfd\bfd-in.h
bfd\bfd-in2.h
bfd\elf.c
gdb\configure.ac
gdb\configure
gdb\elfread.c

but I didn't find this function in any of the processor specific file so
I am little confused where to add this function to work for our target.

For reference I am sending "elf32-xc16x.c" & cpu-xc16x.c" files as
attachment to this mail.

 
 
Best Regards,
Bhushan Attarde

This means that GDB supports a.out, coff, and ecoff.  4 and 5 are
xcoff and ELF.

Earlier versions of GDB always included ELF support.  New versions
only include ELF support if they detect ELF support in BFD, by
compiling a program which uses bfd_get_elf_phdr_upper_bound (see
gdb/configure.ac).  So is this function missing from BFD
for xc16x?  If so how?  It looks to me like it should be there.
