gdb-6.4 do not work on Solaris 10 (amd64)
NAKAJI Hiroyuki
failed to run gdb. Gdb is compiled as 64-bit binary. What's wrong?
I ran:
$ cd $HOME
$ wget -q -O - http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/gdb-6.4.tar.bz2 | bunzip2 | gtar xvf -
$ CC="cc -xarch=amd64" ./configure --enable-64-bit-bfd=yes --enable-werror=no --enable-build-warnings=no --enable-maintainer-mode=no
$ gmake all
And got a "File format not recognized" error,
$ cd ~/gdb-6.4/gdb
$ ./gdb ./gdb

In addition, when I compiled it with CC="cc -xtarget=opteron" and the same
configure option, that is, compiled gdb is 32-bit binary, gdb dumps core.
$ CC="cc -xtarget=opteron" ./configure --enable-werror=no --enable-build-warnings=no --enable-maintainer-mode=no --disable-nls && gmake
$ cd gdb
