            Bug ID: 18294
           Summary: gdb compilation fails on 32-bit Solaris: largefile vs.
                    procfs
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.9
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build

            Target: i?86-*-solaris2*, sparc-sun-solaris2*

Contrary to gdb 7.8, 7.9 fails to compile on 32-bit Solaris:

In file included from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb-7.9/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:23:0:
/usr/include/sys/procfs.h:24:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large
file compilation environment"
make: *** [i386-sol2-nat.o] Error 1

I could track this down as follows:

* before, gdb/config.h didn't define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS, now it has

#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64

* in gdb 7.8, the `checking for special C compiler options needed for large  
files' 
  tests in gdb/configure weren't run at all since they were guarded by 

  test "$enable_largefile" != no

* enable_largefile was set to no in config/largefile.m4

* in gdb 7.9, the default for $plugins changed from its previous no, so
suddenly
  the largefile support gets enabled again, breaking the gdb build
