References: <41DB0457.4010903@gnu.org> X-SW-Source: 2005-01/txt/msg00036.txt.bz2 Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 16:02:15 -0500 From: Andrew Cagney Since this was vendor specific I replied on the fedora-tools-list@redhat.com. http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-tools-list Short summary: the vendor (Red Hat) gcc -m32 is tested and works well with the vendor debugger; when it comes to a custom compiler many things could go wrong. Ah, but I'd like to add that this should work for the official GNU toolchain too. So if this doesn't work for the latest official releases or snapshot of GCC or GDB, please submit a detailed bug report with a self-contained testcase. Mark
