I'll have a look at this. I did, but it's turning into a rat's nest -- sh64-tdep needs several years of catch-up, as it seems. The SIGILL issue that I briefly described is what Kevin (hello, hello!) :-) fixed for MIPS in 486ee7f3437358941f0762ace2550170ef474de1, <http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-12/msg00202.html>; basically the issue is that setting PC's bit 0 in sh64_elf_make_msymbol_special for ISA32 (SHmedia) code will confuse GDB's msymbol machinery, resulting first in a 1-byte offset, which is later ``fixed'' into the 2-byte offset that I mentioned. And patching a 4-byte breakpoint instruction into the middle of two 4-byte instructions is very likely to cause a SIGILL. I have begun hacking into sh64-tdep the same kind of changes that Kevin did for MIPS, but there's more to do, as I'm now seeing ``odd addresses'' for symbols coming out of GDB's symbol table lookup, find_pc_line. Again, the addresses point into the middle of 4-byte instructions. This may be an issue with the debugging information GCC generates, or it may be something else. For the time being, I'm stopping at this point. Anyway, the patch for sh-tdep that I posted in <http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-02/msg00299.html> (at the end) also applies to sh64-tdep -- shall I commit the equivalent sh64-tdep change without any testsuite testing, or let it bit-rot some more?
