Package: gcc-4.0 Version: 4.0.3-1 Severity: normal
Linux kernels compiled with gcc 4.0.3 have invalid debuging information. More information on this issue and how to verify this error can be obtained in bug #378621. I'll also have to use gcc 4.0.3 to compile a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, CONFIG_KPROBES, and optionally CONFIG_RELAY. You also need the resulting kernel unstripped vmlinux. Notice that bug 378621 was filed against systemtap but the issue here is gcc 4.0. GCC 4.1 seems to provide correct/good debug information though. Besides, although this error was spoted in a kernel compiled with 4.0, this bug should also affect ordinary user-space debuggers. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=pt_BR, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to pt_BR) Versions of packages gcc-4.0 depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1cvs20060117-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpp-4.0 4.0.3-1 The GNU C preprocessor ii gcc-4.0-base 4.0.3-1 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-4 GCC support library Versions of packages gcc-4.0 recommends: ii libc6-dev 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii libmudflap0-dev 4.0.3-1 GCC mudflap support libraries (dev -- no debconf information -- []s Tiago Alves Macambira -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
