Bug#498390: gdb refuses to load freshly built vlc binary on mips
package: gdb version: 6.8-3 severity: important I have been trying to track down the build failure of vlc on mips. The build fails with a segmentation fault when doing a test run of the newly built vlc binary. I tried to use gdb to get a backtrace of the problem. Unfortunately gdb refuses to load the freshly built vlc binary. The binary does appear to be a valid executable as I get some output from it before it segfaults. debian-mips:~/vlc-0.8.6.h# gdb --args ./vlc --reset-plugins-cache -l -I rc vlc:quit GNU gdb 6.8-debian Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Is it a libtool-generated script, for instance? -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
