I seem to have gotten myself into something of a situation. Here are the details:
Background: I may be the only Hurd developer who has an SMP box at this time. My wish is to help Roland debug the OSKit-Mach microkernel for Hurd in SMP mode using the GNU gdb debugger in serial mode.
To this end, I purchased a 715/80 box and loaded up Woody on it thinking (perhaps naively) that this would be an easy task. To my suprise, the debian-hppa distro does not include gdb. I do have a 486 laptop with Debian 2.0 on it, but I gave it to my wife and don't want to requisition it if at all possible.
Furthermore, I need a cross-debugger, specifically I need an hppa -> X86 gdb cross debugger.
And finally, I couldn't build gdb for hppa last time I tried, I tried gdb 4.X, not 5 ( which I will try sometime soon ).
gdb complained that hppa-hp-linux-gnu was not a supported platform, is it supported in gdb 5?
Thanks for any help in this matter, - Doug
