First bug:
Nowhere could I find any sort of "supported platforms" list for gdb-5.2, so the only thing I could do is download, compile, install, and try it. If it's already known not to support this version of the OS, or the native compiler, then I've wasted my time, and now I'm wasting yours. Second bug: rsts-11.mit.edu> gdb src/temacs GNU gdb 5.2 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "alphaev67-dec-osf5.1"...Error reading symbol table: File truncated This is a dynamically linked executable produced using the system compiler and other tools, from a reasonably current CVS snapshot of Emacs. It's not the "dumped" version, so the Emacs unexec code isn't to blame. No warnings were produced at link time. I would try confirming that the object file is intact using dbx, but apparently I haven't got a license for it on the machine at the moment. Using "objdump -t" from binutils 2.12.1 also gets the "File truncated" error. The native "odump -t" seems quite happy with the file, displaying almost 55000 symbol table entries. I looked through gnu.gdb.bug on my local news server, and in the dozen messages that weren't spam (out of over 700!), I did find one where Andrew Cagney referred to some problem on Tru64 5.1A being fixed in the current snapshots, though the description of the original problem had expired. So I downloaded gdb+dejagnu-20020723, and built it (after deleting the dejagnu directory, which didn't configure because I don't have a C++ compiler, because the gcc build blew out, but I'm getting off topic), and it still reports the same problem.
