Hello,
        I have a program that gdb for the PowerPC can not load without
causing a segmentation fault. It is gdb version 4.18, configured with
"ppc-unknown-linux-gnu" and compiled with gcc-2.95.2. Version 4.17.0.11
also had this bug. The program that causes this problem and its source
code can be obtained at: "ftp://Ricketts-147.caltech.edu/pub/lab7.tar.gz".
The program is called "lab7", because it is a school assignment. The
following is the exact output from gdb:

[root@Ricketts-147 lab7]# gdb lab7

This GDB was configured as "ppc-unknown-linux-gnu"...Segmentation fault

The same code, compiled for intel and run with gdb 4.17 configured for
"i686-pc-linux-gnu" does not cause any problem.

Thanks,
Ian Farmer
