I had a similar problem. As far as I could work out there was a bad
function prototype for strdup,
gdb_string.h: char * strdup();
Where as on a standard redhat I think the standard definition of strdup is
something along the lines of,
char * strdup(const char *);
Also remember to tell the compiler to target palmos, this is easy to miss.
It should be able to pick up the host ok, although it failed to pick out
anything as specific as RedHat. RedHat is somewhat proprietary in terms of
where it puts stuff maybe thats why it got confused about strdup.
I ran configure as follows:
./configure --target=m68k-palmos-coff
Anyway I got it to compile and run but it still dumps the core as soon as I
try and target pilot localhost:2000. The newer version of POSE let you
specify which port gdb talk to by editing .poserc (there is no menu option
for it) but I have failed to get a debug prompt yet. I am going get gdb-i386
and strace on the case as soon as possible. I have a sneaky suspicion that
there is some problem with connecting to port 2000 on my linux box (although
I am not aware of any service running on it). Any linux gurus out there that
maybe able to answer shed any light on this.
There is an rpm for the palmos version of gdb for those who don't want to
bother compiling it.
Haemish.
