Has anyone had any luck getting any version of gdb to work on a 64-bit Solaris 7 binary built with gcc 3.2? I have tried both gdb-5.3 and gdb-6.0 (last night's CVS image) and end up with the same "Cannot insert breakpoint" error. Searching the gdb mailing list, reveals many other people getting the same error and the gdb bug database has several bugs related to this.
Does gdb support debugging 64-bit Solaris binaries or am I trying to make it do something it can't do?
Here's another example of the error:
[caude@phobos]$ more hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf ("Hello World\n");
}
[caude@phobos]$ gcc-3.2 -m64 -g -o hello hello.c
[caude@phobos]$ gdb64-5.3 hello
GNU gdb 5.3
