Bernhard Walle tried to make a crosscrash package many years ago. The necessary changes were quite intrusive, and Dave wrote clearly that this was unlikely to get merged any time soon. I still thought it was a good idea, so as a Hackweek project I started writing a tool that can automatically convert the crash utility to a cross-platform variant. The (abandoned) sources can be found at GitHub[1]. IIRC this work was based on crash-6.0.5, it most likely fails miserably with any other version. ;-) Anyway, the main issue is that crash does not read individual data fields using gdb primitives. Instead, it often reads a whole structure and then accesses the fields directly. There are also too many global variables, sometimes their type depends on the target, etc. etc. But if you're willing to open this can of worms and clean it up, I will do my best to support you. ;-) Petr T
