Hi All, Looks like 64-bit gdb is it not able to register XCOFF BFD in *sym_fns*using * _initialize_xcoffread *function from xcoffread.c, perhaps when i checked my build envirnoment xcoffread.c was not compiled at all, hence we are not able to read any XCOFF executables.
Please let me know any suggestions on how to compile xcoffread.c in 64-bit mode am i missing any configuration option ?
