Hello,
In gdb-5.0 (--host=sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 --target=i386-linux-gnu), the
command 'add-symbol-file' does not work correctly with ELF objects:
all symbols are relocated to .text (I'm using the -T option).
I found the problem in gdb/elfread.c, and I tried to fix it. It seems
to work for me while debugging linux kernel modules, but I'm not sure it
will work in any cases. Here is the patch:
