I tried to compile GDB-4.15.1 for my NetBSD/sparc. I took the standard gnu distribution and all worked very smoothly: just ./configure and make Only problem: it doesn't recognize the core-dump format. Since GDB-4.11 as distributed with NetBSD-1.1 understands the core-dump format, I guess there is a trick when compiling GDB, but what's this trick ? Stefan
