The OpenSolaris patches are made for 6.8; I explored the opportunity to apply them on the 7.2 base and here are the conclusions: - gdb.solib-svr4.patch succeeds but refers to old variable names and the SPARC part is already implemented; consequently I cherry pick by hand and adapt to the new upstream source - gdb.fork-child.c.patch succeeds but need to be extended to an additional test toward /opt/csw/bin/isaexec which will be another patch and, finally a patch for replacing any /opt/csw rooted shell by /sbin/sh alleviating the issue with libintl dynamic POSIX thread detection - gdb.auxv.c.patch this is already implemented in a more elegant way by upstream; anyhow, the patch fails as is. Finally, I applied 2 minor patches to alleviate configuration issues related with our compilation chain. -- Peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
