gdb on AIX with Xlc generated 64 bit executables

[ravit]

I have built my gdb-6.7.1 yesterday on my AIX 5.3 64 bit machine.

my gcc is gcc3.3.2

and tried debugging 64 bit executables generated by gcc, working fine. debugging session ends successfully.

But I am facing a problem when it comes 64 bit executables generated by xlc compiler.

The session ends like this:

(gdb) r

I'd like to know how you have compile gdb?
I'm still struggeling to get over the compile errors.
Which pre-compile/settings flags have you used?

Thanks in advance

Hi fisch,

I have compiled it normally with
CC=gcc
CPP=cpp
CXX=g++

by the way, Are you using the gdb on AIX 5.3 for 64 executables generated by xlc??

Or
You wanted one for such ??

I have been trying to get gdb working for my 64 bit executables generated by Xlc , but no success hopes yet.
If you have any ideas , hope we share.
