3.2

3.2

[Michal Liptak]

When I upgraded gcc to 3.2 I started to have problems with gdb.
I get this error which prevents me from debugging any 3.2 compiled binary:

(gdb) file some-bin-file-compiled-with-3.2
Reading symbols from test-config...Dwarf Error: Cannot handle DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader.

My gdb is GNU gdb 20010813 (MI_OUT).

Also sometimes when linking I get this error:
/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value: 14.

My ld is GNU ld version 2.11.90.0.8 (with BFD 2.11.90.0.8).

Should I upgrade my binutils and/or gdb?
Thanks for your response..

and my gcc is:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/specs
Configured with: ./configure --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c,c++

gcc version 3.2

You have to upgrade GDB to version 5.1 and +.

Compiling gdb went fine, but compiling binutils-2.13 did not work..
Any idea why this is happening?

/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value: 14.
/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value: 14.
/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 117.

1. You should update to binutils-2.13
2. gdb-5.3 is due out on October 9 according to the gdb home page schedule.
