| 10 | Due to a kernel bug (kern/35175), detaching from an attached process | |
| 11 | will very likely cause the process to be stop or die with a Trace/BPT | |
| 12 | trap. | |

| 16 | ------------------- | |

| 18 | There is a bug (bin/41671) in FreeBSD's gcc that causes it to emit bad | |
| 19 | debug information when using the stabs format (which is the default). | |

20 | As a result GDB tends to place breakpoints on functions before the |
| 21 | function prologue, and information about function parameters and local | |
| 22 | variables is lost. In earlier versions of GDB the effects were rather | |
| 23 | limited, but starting with GDB 5.3 the influence is much more | |
| 24 | prominent. As a workaround, compile your code with -gdwarf-2. | |

30 | gdb/487: The top level make files used to build GDB are not compatible |
| 31 | with HP/UX make. As a workaround, use GNU make. | |

| 36cc83a3 AC |
33 | gdb/486: The HP/UX C compiler defaults to K&R mode but GDB only builds |
| 34 | with an ISO C compiler. The top level configuration incorrectly sets | |
| 35 | CC to `cc' instead of `cc -Ae'. As a workaround, the correct compiler | |
| 36 | can be specified as part of the configuration vis: | |
| 6b325864 | 37 | |
| 36cc83a3 | 38 | $ 'CC=cc -Ae' ./configure |

| 42 | --------- | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | gdb/513: GDB does not build on s390 GNU/Linux. The problem should be | |
| 45 | fixed in more recent sources. | |

| 47 | ||
| 48 | i386-*-freebsd4.4* | |
| 49 | ------------------ | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | gdb/455: GDB doesn't build on a FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE system. The | |
| 52 | problem is still being investigated. | |

| 54 | alpha*-*-osf* | |
| 55 | ------------- | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | gdb/816: When building GDB with GCC 3.0.1, GDB is unable to load a core | |
| 58 | file properly. It generates several errors and warnings regarding | |
| 59 | unhandled core file section types, incorrect endianness, the failure to | |
| 60 | load the registers. Are also incorrectly reported: The program name, the | |
| 61 | cause of the program death, and the call stack at the moment of the | |
| 62 | death. This problem has been reported on alpha-osf4.0f and alpha-osf5.1a. | |
| 63 | To work-around the problem, add -D__digital__ to the CFLAGS when | |
| 64 | building GDB vis: | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | $ make CFLAGS='-O2 -D__digital__' | |
