Intel Xscale GDB

[Vlasios Tsiatsis <tsiatsis at ee dot ucla dot edu>]

Hi all!
I am reposting this problem in case someone can help me.

I have a question about the source code of the Intel Xscale gdb
residing in the GNUPro toolkit source bundle.
I downloaded both versions (010413 and 010827) of the source code from
Intel's website
(http://developer.intel.com/design/intelxscale/dev_tools/010827/) and
tried to build them
on a RedHat Linux 7.1 machine (kernel 2.4.2-2, processor i686, gcc
version 2.96).
I have tried to build them on RedHat Linux 6.2 machine with egcs-2.91.66
but
i had no luck.

I am having problems compiling the gdb sources because of an error in
the directory src/gdb/i386-linux-nat.c line 102. A data type called
"gregset_t" is
not declared anywhere in any header file and this results in a
compilation
error.
I can see that the "configure" program (in the gdb directory) checks
whether this type is declared in <sys/procfs.h> and it cannot find the
type gregset_t in this file.
In the file <sys/procfs.h> the only type that is similar to gregset_t
is called elf_gregset_t.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem ?


thank you,
