Re: [Crash-utility] gdb patch for Alpha
The gdb-6.1.tar.gz needs to be patched in order to fix an
"invalid
lvalue in assignment" bug on newer compilers on Alpha that prevents
crash from building.
This patch is the one in upstream gdb that resolves the issue:
Yep -- we're seeing those kinds of gdb-compile issues with the newer
compilers on other processors as well. I'm going to create a
"gdb-6.1.patch" in the top-level directory, create a stanza for its
application in the Makefile, and invoke it during the initial build.
I wish I had done that years ago for the handful of gdb files that
are modified, instead of keeping their changes in CVS, but I'll
just keep updating a per-gdb-release patch file in place from now on.
Nice to hear somebody's still using alphas...
Thanks,
Dave
