RE: error message : I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that. Symbolformat 'elf32-xc16x' unknown.

Hi Daniel,

	First of all thanks for your reply.
I searched " bfd_get_elf_phdr_upper_bound"
function, I found it in the
following files:
 
bfdbfd-in.h
bfdbfd-in2.h
bfdelf.c
gdbconfigure.ac
gdbconfigure
gdbelfread.c

but I didn't find this function in any of the processor
specific file so
I am little confused where to add this function to work for
our target.

For reference I am sending "elf32-xc16x.c" &
cpu-xc16x.c" files as
attachment to this mail.

 
 
Best Regards,
Bhushan Attarde

This means that GDB supports a.out, coff, and ecoff.  4 and
5 are
xcoff and ELF.

Earlier versions of GDB always included ELF support.  New
versions
only include ELF support if they detect ELF support in BFD,
by
compiling a program which uses bfd_get_elf_phdr_upper_bound
(see
gdb/configure.ac).  So is this function missing from BFD
for xc16x?  If so how?  It looks to me like it should be
there.

Is it in libbfd.a?  What does gdb/config.log say about it?
