Hi all:
I have a complie question, An help me answer it?
I use binutils-gdb source code to build gdb for aarch64，the version is “gdb-9.2-release”, and complie command line is "./configure --target=aarch64 --enable-sim".
Compile is completed, but when i enter gdb and type command "target sim" , gdb said "Undefined target command: "sim": ..." , am i missed someting when i complie gdb?
And attach a picture:
Thanks a lot！
Best Regards！
Ron

The problem is that in gdb/configure.tgt there is no link to the
compiled simulator. The patch below adds this link for aarch64-elf
targets.
I believe the reason for this is that the aarch64 simulator is
considered deprecated in favour of using QEMU. Or it could just be an
oversight that this link is missing.
Either way, this should get it working for you.
Thanks,
Andrew

while i love QEMU, i'm not sure it should be relevant wrt decisions about the
GNU sim and its integration in places.

guessing you meant aarch64 there and not arm ?
