RE: BDI interfering with gdbserver on PPC target

Well it took a while but finally isolated this issue.  It's
a little
esoteric perhaps but for future reference BDI can be
controlled with the
config file by disabling VECTOR CATCH 

Similarly a Xilinx XMD JTAG debugger had the same problem.
in that case it's
a matter of writing a PPC405 SPR DBCR0 to configure internal
debug.

Yes, this happens on a lot of different targets.  There's
nothing we can do
about it - you'd have to talk to the kernel folks or the BDI
supplier.

I am attempting a build of gdb 6.7.1 for windows CE ARM
target using
mingw32ce  the objective is to have gdbserver on target
providing a "target
remote x" interface to the host development gdb.  in
other words a standard
session configuration.

can anyone help with the --target and --host configure
options ?

I think there is a bfd patch but not sure if it is located
in the patches
archive ?

we are stuck on this 

thanks,
