Greetings,
I have managed to
compile binutils 2.10.1 on BSDI 4.2.
(I am after this, in
the hope that I can get a working gprof out of it, that would let
me
profile forked
processes).
If anyone is
interested, I would be glad to post my patches.
I have ended up with
a binutils package that only supports the
i386bsd format.
( The 2.9.1 binutils
that comes with BSDI 4.2 supports elf_i386, i386bsdi and
i386coff).
Does anyone have a
suggestion what configuration options to use for 2.10.1? to
get
elf and coff
support?
Also: I am thinking
about porting the "latest" glibc. This has some debug/profiling
hooks
that another
profiling package needs. I am talking about __malloc_hook,
__realloc_hook
and
__free_hook.
These are missing
from all of the stock BSD 4.2 libraries. They are supposed to be
in
libc.
Is using a current,
GNU glibc instead of the shipping BDSI libc a realistic
goal?
