Patches to GDB to make cross-compile friendly...

2000-02-25 Thread Jeff Bailey
I would like to send this patch into the gdb folks to make cross-compilation of gdb for the hurd more friendly. Would you guys mind taking a look at letting me know if I've missed anything? I particular, if you know of a better case for testing for Hurd's host triple and succesfully distingu

Success report for pfinet

As I haven't seen any success reports for the pfinet rework, I figured I would post one: I have successfully downloaded gdb (9.9MB) in the Hurd with no corruption (The file un bzip'd succesfully). GNUMach from Marcus' tarball Hurd from CVS yesterday cross compiled from Linux using Gcc-2.95.2 (

The most useful thing you can do is try to run your the system in a sub-hurd, while watching it using ps and gdb from the working hurd. Since the sub-hurd is never going to make it all the way up, you don't even really need to make a separate filesystem for it; you can just boot the sub-hurd read

Proc failure with gcc-2.95.2

2000-02-25 Thread Jeff Bailey
'proc' fails on startup when compiled with gcc-2.95.2, either natively or cross-compiled. Replacing it with one cross compiled from egcs-1.1.2 gives me a full-functioning system (I don't have to recompile any of the support libraries). After the GNUMach bit, I get the following: Hurd server
