It itself is a ELF binary, but it claims 'File in wrong : format' for cores that file(1) says are version 1 ELF. Sounds familiar. Edit /usr/include/sys/procfs.h so it looks something like: #ifndef _SYS_PROCFS_H #define _SYS_PROCFS_H #include <linux/sys.h> #include <linux/elfcore.h> #endif It tries to do some manipulation to get gdb to compile properly. It fails, undefines a crucial #define, and the net result is gdb is compiled incorrectly. Once you've edited the .h file, recompile gdb, and All Should Be Well with the world. :-) (recompiling meaning the configure, etc.) -- With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC1925.
