Yes, this is a known problem. (It's described in the README file in the top directory of the CDK.) The problem is that ptrace is not yet implemented for the 4xx processors. I have ptrace working in an old version of the kernel, but haven't yet moved it forward to a current kernel and cleaned up the implementation. This is a very high priority item for completion. -Frank -- Frank Rowand <frank_rowand at mvista.com> MontaVista Software, Inc ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
