I may be wrong here (still new to Debian), but it seems to me that gdb-multiarch is meant to be used to debug not only 32- vs. 64-bit binaries, but also binaries from different architectures via gdbserver. For example, this section: <https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-gdb/gdb.git/tree/debian/rules#n127> is responsible for choosing the targets that will be passed to --enable-targets when compiling the gdb-multiarch package. Therefore, it also seems to me that gdb-multiarch:powerpc should be able to debug a 64-bit binary on a 32-bit PowerPC system. Or am I missing something here? -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible http://sergiodj.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
