I am trying to install gdb 4.7 on an HP 9000/720 using the native cc, and I have hit a few snags. 1) No matter what I do, the configure script will not descend into subdirectories. The config.status reports that the -norecursive flag was used, but I definitely did not set that flag. 2) After manually configuring all of the subdirectories for hp9k720, I get two errors when building gdb. The first error is a declaration mismatch for millicode_start and millicode_end. I changed the declarations in bfd/libhppa.h to 'unsigned int' to agree with CODE_ADDR. The second error is in hppa.c. The initializer for hppa_vec is missing a field, namely the 'symbol_leading_char' field. I have tried both 0 and '_' for this field, either of which allows gdb to compile and link, but... 3) The resulting gdb runs and I can access the help system. However, it refuses to run the program that I am trying to debug, and it claims that there are no symbols, even though xdb can find them (and in fact, finds the symbols in gdb itself.) I would appreciate any help with these problems. Thanks.
