I build gdb-6.8 myself with MokoMakefile (surprisingly easy once I
realized
that gdb-6.8 is alreay supported with a .bb file).
with gdb-6.8 instruction single stepping seems to work correct (at least
for that "bxcc lr" as some few tests showed)
why does Om 2008.8 still include gdb-6.6 ?
> - that my Xglamo binary and .debug/Xglamo really fit together (see my
question about different time stamp)
so next I rebuild Xglamo using MokoMakefile -- and now I get all symbols
in gdb.
as I suggested: the -dbg package did't seem to match the installed
binary:-(
for reference here are the md5sums of the files I tried before:
f3e4aa396f53cfe0e70b167bb130f1fb /usr/bin/Xglamo.
34457ec11ce9a0398ac2c3923fff81c2 /usr/bin/.debug/Xglamo.
so an upstream report to gdb is not neccessary.
now, where can I advocade to update gdb to version 6.8 in Om 2008.9 ???
