ndk-gdb fails because of permissions

[Chris]

I'm using NDK version 10D and a Nexus 9 tablet.

I compile my .so with ndk-build NDK_DEBUG=1. It creates a good .so, gdb.setup and gdbserver in my ./libs/arm64-v8a/ directory. When i try and run ndk-gdb --verbose it chugs along but eventually disconnects and i see this error in the output.

"run-as: exec failed for /data/local/tmp/gdbserver Error:Permission denied"

My device is a stock device. I have not rooted it. Is rooting a device now a required operation to run a debugger?!

Thanks,

Chris

Any update on this issue? I am facing the exact same issue only on Nexus 9 with arm64-v8a. Thanks for any help.

Is this possibly the same core issue here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=118300 to do with pulling 64-bit versions of app_process and linker?
