i just tested it on a Solaris 7 64-bit box and gcc 3.4.0.
when i built a 32-bit gmond ... everything worked great... just a simple
./configure && make. gmond didn't segfault however the box wasn't ipv6
enabled so i could only test ipv4 addresses.
testing in 64-bit mode...
% export CFLAGS="-m64"
% export CPPFLAGS="-m64"
% ./configure && make
...
% cd gmond
% file ./gmond
./gmond: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically
linked, not stripped
when i connect to the 64-bit gmond... segfault just like you discovered.
so.. it's seems to be a problem with 64-bit binaries on solaris. i ran
tests on itanium/linux and found that everything is fine... maybe it's
an endianess problem or something. not sure.
unfortunately the gdb debugger v6.0 i have installed on the machine does
not understand 64-bit solaris binaries.
so .. is it possible for us to run gmond in 32-bit mode and collect
information from a 64-bit kernel. i think i remember that answer being
no.. but does anyone know for sure?
