--- Comment #5 from Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp dot org> --- (In reply to Kurt Roeckx from comment #4) > The varlocs test is calling dwarf_errmsg (-1) OK, that will show the last libdw error set on the current thread. In which case we might actually have a candidate for why it was set. The only place DWARF_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR is set (returned) is: libdw/cfi.c (cie_cache_initial_state): /* Fetch the ABI's default CFI program. */ if (likely (cache->ebl != (void *) -1l) && unlikely (ebl_abi_cfi (cache->ebl, &abi_info) < 0)) return DWARF_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR; That would explain the issue on alpha at least because that doesn't have a backend hook for abi_cfi. I suspect your mips and hppa backends also don't have that hooked. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
