Hi Suzuki, Aside from the minor issues in my previous email, this feature works nicely for ppc32! To avoid your having to send in another patch, I've modified your first 1/4 patch like so, where I've changed the top-level Makefile and the gdb-7.3.1/Makefile.in to check for uppercase "PPC64", and changed the define name passed to gdb from "TARGET" to "CRASH_TARGET": --- ppc1.patch.orig 2012-01-09 11:30:43.636707000 -0500 +++ ppc1.patch 2012-01-09 15:29:56.808811000 -0500 @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ ARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ -e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/) -ifeq ($(ARCH), ppc64) -+ifeq (${TARGET}, ppc64) ++ifeq (${TARGET}, PPC64) CONF_FLAGS = -m64 endif @@ -16,8 +16,8 @@ --with-bugurl="" --with-expat=no --with-python=no; \ - make --no-print-directory; echo ${TARGET} > crash.target) \ - else (cd ${GDB}/gdb; make --no-print-directory;); fi -+ make --no-print-directory TARGET=${TARGET}; echo ${TARGET} > crash.target) \ -+ else (cd ${GDB}/gdb; make --no-print-directory TARGET=${TARGET};); fi ++ make --no-print-directory CRASH_TARGET=${TARGET}; echo ${TARGET} > crash.target) \ ++ else (cd ${GDB}/gdb; make --no-print-directory CRASH_TARGET=${TARGET};); fi @if [ ! -f ${GDB}/gdb/libgdb.a ]; then \ echo; echo "gdb build failed: ${GDB}/gdb/libgdb.a does not exist"; \ echo; exit 1; fi @@ -74,7 +74,7 @@ CC_FOR_BUILD = @CC_FOR_BUILD@ CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD = @CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD@ -+ifeq ($(shell arch), ppc64) -++ifeq (${TARGET}, ppc64) +++ifeq (${CRASH_TARGET}, PPC64) +CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD += -m64 -fPIC +endif CXXFLAGS_FOR_BUILD = @CXXFLAGS_FOR_BUILD@ @@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ CFLAGS = @CFLAGS@ -+ifeq ($(shell arch), ppc64) -++ifeq (${TARGET}, ppc64) +++ifeq (${CRASH_TARGET}, PPC64) +CFLAGS += -m64 -fPIC +endif LDFLAGS = @LDFLAGS@ Presuming it works OK for both ppc64 and ppc32, consider it queued for crash-6.0.3.
