I tried to move RBS to gdb-7.8.1, but there were several other dependency problems that I could not (easily) fix. So I have back-ported my patches to gdb-7.7 which seems to work equally well. I will send the patches for rtems-tools and rtems-source-builder to Chris off-list as the patch is quite large (300K). I built the sparc toolchain with RBS and copied the sis patch to rtems/patches manually since I have not write access to rtems-tools.git. This worked fine, and gdb now runs leon2/3 binaries: $ sparc-rtems4.11-gdb ~/src/rtems/b2/sparc-rtems4.11/c/leon2/testsuites/samples/ticker/ticker.exe GNU gdb (GDB) 7.7 Reading symbols from /home/jiri/src/rtems/b2/sparc-rtems4.11/c/leon2/testsuites/samples/ticker/ticker.exe...done.
