worked because .ORDER prevented problems from concurrent generation
of multiple parsers (and their headers), and there were no missing
dependencies because the generated headers were not actually used.
because 2 references to _initialize_kcorelow (the other one
from kvm-fbsd.c) resulted. This prevented gdb from working correectly.
delete kcorelow.c from XSRCS in the Makefile.
UPAGES layout.. it was entirely too comfortable with reading and writing
the U area before. I've changed it to use PT_GETREGS/PT_PUTREGS
ptrace ops instead of READ_U etc. The code to read the registers from
core dumps is a bandaid at best. It seems to have problems reading
core dumps from dynamic linked executables still, but at least static
dumps work.
I desperately need help from a gdb/bfd expert. :-) HELP!!
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
of the linker to enforce linking of modules in command line order it is
not possible to link gdb shared with -lcompat.
*HACK ALERT*
Removed -lcompat from LDADD and bring in the necessary functions out of
libcompat as a source module until the linker can be fixed.
the wild, slippery orgy commence!
Gary Jennejohn, too studly for his own good, has finally come through with
the new, improved gdb 4.13. This gdb features:
o kgdb support - if this works (and I urge folks to test it), we can
finally purge the old and hateful version of kgdb from our source
tree.
o attach/detach support. See comments in README.FreeBSD for more
details.
o Well, it's newer. Our previous version was 4.11.
Comments and flames to gj, of course! :-)
Thanks, Gary. Much appreciated. The previous state of gdb/kgdb has been a
thorn in all of our sides for some time..

This is a greatly pared down version of the full gdb-4.12, all the
config stuff has been removed and the supporting libraries have
been stripped to a minimum. This is a 1.1.5 only port, I'll do a
more complete port for 2.0 which will have all the config stuff
and will install the gnu support libraries as system libraries like
we do for readline.
There wasn't much point for 1.1.5 since only gdb would use them so I
went for saving space instead. For 2.0 I'll config all the
other gnu tools to use them as well.
