8.1 on sparc64 doesn't seem happy where 7.12.1 is. Basic programs seem to be properly supported, but at least emacs isn't: Reading symbols from emacs...done. (gdb) b alloc.c:xputenv Breakpoint 1 at 0x20f3a4: file alloc.c, line 1054. (gdb) r Starting program: /usr/local/bin/emacs terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR' terminate called recursively Abort trap (core dumped) This results in an egdb.core file. ''egdb egdb egdb.core'' leads to a similar crash. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
