linux 64bits support

Hi guys,

Is 64bits native linux target supported with gdb6.5 ?
I get a lot of error in gdb.base testsuite.

64-bit Linux for _what_?  Obviously it makes a lot of
difference.

If you're talking about x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, then yes,
it's certainly
supported.  I test on it every day.  Other people test
ppc64, ia64,
hppa64, and s390x.

It sure is.

You probably are using a Linux distribution that has a
64-bit kernel,
but 32-bit userland, where the toolchain produces 32-bit
binaries by
default.  Whack away your build tree and start afresh,
configuring
with CFLAGS=-m64.

It's a real mess since there are other 64-bit Linux
distributions that
do have a fully 64-bit userland, yet the canonical for both
variants
is the same :(.
