This is regarding GDB's inablilty to debug corefiles that have been
created on a target machine that is different from the host on which GDB
is configured to run.

Sounds complicated! Here's a little background info to clarify my
statement.

I have configured GDB (5.0) with host as a Sun-Solaris machine and
target as MIPS. Now, the MIPS machine generates a corefile (in elf
format) which has to be debugged with GDB running on the Sun machine
(there are certain problems with this too, but I'll bring this up
sometime later!). Apparently, this is not possible since GDB can only
debug live targets.

If anyone has any ideas about how to go about configuring (or modifying)
GDB to run on one host architecture and debug corefiles generated from a
different target architecture, they would be really welcome!

Thanks in advance!
