To check out the branch, login to the repository following the instructions available on: http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/ And then check out the branch jimb-gdb_6_2-e500-branch like this: cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co -r jimb-gdb_6_2-e500-branch gdb+dejagnu Then you can configure and build this system on a native PowerPC E500 Linux system in the normal way. This branch includes the following changes that are not currently present in the GDB trunk, because they are awaiting review or revision: - Support for variables allocated to all 64 bits of the gprs (partial, architecture-specific support for DW_OP_piece) - Support for reading SPE registers in multi-threaded programs (support for the libthread_db xregs functions; this requires an appropriately patched GNU C library, which will be available soon) - Support for Dwarf 2 CFI for PowerPC targets.
