But the normal 32-bit gdb works just fine for 32-bit applications for me, except for threaded stuff which never worked %100 and won't even with a 64-bit gdb. A pure-64bit userland on sparc64 is an _incredibly_ _stupid_ idea. The only thing you'll get is larger binaries, worse performance, and maybe 1 or 2 tools which work a slightly better but could be easily fixed to work properly as a 32-bit app too. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
