I need to debug into glibc for some stuff, and I'm having trouble
getting things set up. I was wondering if anyone's done this or
has suggestions..
I'm using FC2, and it doesnt appear to have a debug rpm, so I
got the glibc srpm and extracted it and did an rpmbuild on it
to get glibc-debuginf-2.3.3-27.i386.rpm and
glibc-debuginfo-common-2.3.3-27.i386.rpm files. I then installed
these which made a bunch of stuff in
/usr/lib/debug/{lib,usr/lib,usr/bin}...
Anyway, it doesnt look quite right to me. All the files (including
all the .so's) have a .debug suffix on them. This means I cant
simply use -L when compiling or LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running/debugging/
testing. What gives? Web searches seem to imply that earlier versions
of glibc debug rpm's werent layed out like this.
(as a quick hack test I tried making symlinks pointing to all the
.debug's with filenames that don't have the .debug suffix, but that
didnt seem to go over too well either).
