GDB crash under cygwin...

[Paul Breed]

I'm trying to build the latetest cywin version with the new improved TCL.
I'm building a cross platform version... (m68k-elf debugger under cygwin)
Everything builds, but when I try to run it
I get an immediate core dump, this even happens with -nw option.
any ideas...



m68k-elf-insight -nw

The Stack dump is short with an instruction pointer =0???? Any ideas

Can you run this under gdb and break on abort() to get a backtrace? If
that fails, you might have to step through do_captured_main to find out
why.

Does another version of it build? (Like a cygwin native? I wonder if
it's a back-end problem with m68k-elf.)
