Indeed. Long story short: some C files included in gdb releases were generated from other files which were not bundled in the releases, thus the gdb releases were not compliant with the licensing terms of those files, and so were re-generated. Ditto for binutils. It was requested that symlinks were provided so that already-deployed build systems (such as, but not limited to crosstool-NG) would not break. While the binutils folks agreed to set up such legacy symlinks, the gdb folks flatly refused. Hence the breakage. > I tried changing 6.8 to 6.8a in > config/debug/gdb.in and at least the download portion worked. It ran > into something else later: > > [INFO ] Extracting and patching toolchain components > [EXTRA] Extracting 'gdb-6.8a' > [ERROR] Build failed in step 'Extracting and patching toolchain components' That's been long fixed. Please upgrade. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
