Hello everyone,
I am interested in compiling a version of gdb on a i686-redhat-linux
platform to read a core file dumped on a arm-linux platform. I have tried
making a cross debugger specifying --build=i686-redhat-linux,
--host=i686-redhat-linux, and --target=arm-linux for the configure script. I
have been unable to fool gdb into thinking that its host is a arm-linux
while producing a i686-redhat-linux binary. Has anyone tried this? Is this
possible (with or without messy hacks)? I only want to read a static core
file I do not want to run an executable.
Thanks,
