[uClibc]buildtools & gdb

[Robin Gilks]

Greetings

Silly question time!! I'm getting myself really confused about the 
manner in which gdb is built using the buildtools procedure.

As far as I can make out, the gdb.mk file creates an executable for the 
target as does gdbserver.mk. I've not built gdb due to a lack of a 
'term' library on the target but the gdbserver link is static as 
reported by ldd so I've no clue as to which library was used to build it 
(but I assume uclibc)!

Does anyone have a .mk file to build a gdb that executes on the host 
(i386 in my case) but knows about the instruction set of the target 
(PowerPC for me) to run with hardware tools such as the Abitron bdi2000 
BDM debugger?

I'd very much like to compare it with the one I've created to see if 
I've got it right before my target hardware arrives :-))

Many thanks
