Hi Experts:
I got vmcore file on powerpc board(P2020 or P2040), but failed to do crash analysis on x86
host, it showed we need to build a powerpc supported crash binary.
On the README of the latest crash-7.1.3, it state to get crash binary which can support
powerpc32 vmcore analysis, we need to build with `make target=PPC` on PPC64 host, but
currently, it's hard to find this kind of host to do build, if there are some other
switch/method can let us to build powerpc supported binary on x86/x86_64 host?
Thanks a lot for your time!!
Best Regards,
James

Sorry, but no. The two architectures need to have the same endian-ness.

Hi Dave:
Thanks for your quick reply.
Even if we build with cross compiler, we still can not meet this request?

Even with a cross compiler you'd need an environment to execute the
resulting powerpc build - about the only way that you can do that on
an x86 host is to use something like Qemu's powerpc support:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-qemu-development/
It's slow compared to real hardware but if using a real power host is
not an option this may be worth looking into.

Bryn.

I tested this earlier for analysis of a big-endian MIPS dump on an
x86-64 host, with success. See these for more info:

If you're able (and willing) to invest some time into development, you
may find this project interesting:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-09/msg00014.html
Support for powerpc is currently missing, but it could be added with
relatively low effort, and there is a so-called HackWeek¹ at SUSE in the
week of Dec 7, so I could help with that. There are a few other SUSE
people interested in this project.

¹ SUSE HackWeek is a week that can be used by all SUSE R&D employees for
innovative projects of their choice (instead of their regular work).
