Anybody had luck with compiling gdbserver for mipsel? I am using x86
based machine running Fedora 2.6.11 kernel, the target device is IDT 434
running Mipsel 2.6.10 kernel. The gcc crosscompiler is mipsel-linux-gcc
and version 3.2.3.
I did a ./configure --host=mipsel-linux-gnu --target=mipsel-linux-gnu
followed by a make. Make failed with the messages:

The content of ptrace.h has the enums declared as

..which looks pretty normal to me , anybod yhave any clue?
Thanks,
Perhaps your toolchain is broken, or perhaps you need to configure
differently.
With my glibc-2.3.3/gcc-3.4.3 toolchain I do:
../gdb-6.6/configure --target=mipsel-linux --host=mipsel-linux
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
Then make and voila! gdb, gdbserver et al. are built.
