 Hi,
 
 I'm building HEAD on solaris 9, and I see the same problem.
 
 After fixing a typo in your patch, gdb works again:
 
 CFLAGS=-g -O2 -I../../src/gdb/../include -I../bfd -I../../src/gdb/../bfd
 LDFLAGS= -L../bfd -L../libiberty
 + sed s,${top_builddir}/,
 + echo ${top_builddir}/../intl/libintl.a /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so
 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
 -R/usr/local/lib
 sed: -e expression #1, char 19: unterminated `s' command
 intl=
 LIBS=-ldl -lncurses -lsocket -lnsl -lm  -lbfd -liberty
 
 Missed a comma.  I've also added a `g' to be on the safe side:
 
 -+intl=`echo $LIBINTL | sed 's,${top_builddir}/,'`
 ++intl=`echo $LIBINTL | sed 's,${top_builddir}/,,g'`
 
 Cheers,
 Pedro Alves

 Please check why the configure script decided ELF support was
 missing.  There should be an error in gdb/config.log.

a freshly configured gdb 6.7 is unable to read elf32-sparc symbol tables on solaris 8.

error is :
I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that.  Symbol format `elf32-sparc' unknown.

I have tried with a variety of images, all with the same result.

gdb 6.4 works fine

>Fix:
The configure script and or make file needs to be fixed for solaris .. it is missing
the Makefile in the gdb directory for linux looks like this .. the elfread.obj is here and gets pulled in when init.c is built.
CONFIG_OBS=  $(SUBDIR_CLI_OBS) $(SUBDIR_MI_OBS) elfread.o posix-hdep.o $(SUBDIR_TUI_OBS)

on solaris the CONFIG_OBS line looks like this:
CONFIG_OBS=  $(SUBDIR_CLI_OBS) $(SUBDIR_MI_OBS) sol-thread.o posix-hdep.o $(SUBDIR_TUI_OBS)

elfread.o is not present, and never gets pulled into init.c
