I guess non-native guest would be another way of saying it. There is some hoop jumping to deal with the fact that some arches package up a fully featured multiarch aware gdb and some package up the multiarch one as a separate gdb-multiarch package. > Incidentally I think the problem I have been running into > with the Ubuntu gdb 8.1 is that it doesn't support registers > larger than 64 bytes, and if AArch64 QEMU is emulating SVE > then it tries to expose registers bigger than that to the > gdbstub. So this is a missing patch from Ubuntu's gdb? We could just peg the sha1 test to cortex-a57 - your are likely not getting the SVE tests running unless you have the compilers to build them (or using docker). > > thanks > -- PMM -- Alex Bennée
