64-bit gdb 5.3 on Solaris

64-bit gdb 5.3 on Solaris

[Mikhail Teterin]

Hi!

I've just built the gdb-5.3 on Solaris, using Sun's native compiler
with

        -xO3 -xstrconst -xarch=v9b

When trying to debug an executable, however, gdb complains at startup:
GNU gdb 5.3
Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are
welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.
Type "show copying" to see the conditions.
There is absolutely no warranty for GDB.  Type "show warranty" for details.
This GDB was configured as "sparc64-sun-solaris2.8"...gdbarch.c:2619: 
gdb-internal-error: gdbarch: gdbarch_num_regs invalid

An internal GDB error was detected.  This may make further
debugging unreliable.  Quit this debugging session? (y or n) 

If I ask it to continue and type "run", it will die from a SEGFAULT.
Why is the gdbarch_num_regs busted? Thanks!

did you get any reponse?

Idm actually more interesetd in having a working gdb-5.3 (or CVS HEAD)
for sparc64-linux, but any clues on this might be helpful for the
sparc64-linux target also I guess.
