gdb cross compilation, error from gdb/tui module.... please help.

[paawan oza <paawan1982 at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,

I am working on reversible debugging on arm....at the first step there are 
couple of hurdles, please help.

-> I have donwload arm tool chain from
http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package3696/public/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2


-> tried to compile gdb (at the first point it threw 'termcap library not 
found')

-> so I cross compiled ncurses-5.5 and kept libraries along with other arm 
libraries.

-> and gdb went on with more compilation stuffs and finally it threw following.

1) does it have something to do with the compaitibility with ncurses library 
version ?
folowing is the list of ncurses arm libaries which were copied.
libform.a  libform_g.a  libmenu.a  libmenu_g.a  libncurses++.a  libncurses.a  
libncurses_g.a  libpanel.a  libpanel_g.a

please help..

Oza.
