Package: gdb
Version: 6.3-6
Severity: wishlist
This patch against 6.3-6 allow to debug cross-compiled applications
using GDB. To create a cross-gdb please apply this patch and set
the TARGET environment variable to your desired architecture. In this
example we create a powerpc-linux-gdb application:
$ apt-get source gdb
$ cd gdb-6.3
$ patch -p1 < ../gdb-6.3-6.cross-patch-20050613.diff
$ TARGET=powerpc dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
After the successful build you get a package called
gdb-powerpc-linux_6.3-6_i386.deb on i386. Install it first:
# dpkg -i gdb-powerpc-linux_6.3-6_i386.deb
Now we can start the new debugger:
$ GNU gdb 6.3-debian

This GDB was configured as "--host=i386-linux --target=powerpc-linux".
(gdb)
A new configuration variable is introduced with this patch called
"solib-crossdir":
(gdb) show solib-crossdir
The base directory for cross libraries is "/usr/powerpc-linux".
(gdb)
This configuration variable is set by default to the dpkg-cross's
default directory where cross files are found. For libraries it is
/usr/powerpc-linux/lib for PowerPC cross-debugger.

GDB is a source-level debugger, capable of breaking programs at
any specific line, displaying variable values, and determining
where errors occurred. Currently, it works for C, C++, Fortran
