   8 ---------------

  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.

  15 i386-*-freebsd[34]*
  16 -------------------
  17
  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 In earlier versions of GDB the effects were rather limited, but
  21 starting with GDB 5.3 the influence is much more prominent.

  24 hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20
  25 --------------------
  26
  27 gdb/487: The top level make files used to build GDB are not compatible
  28 with HP/UX make.  As a workaround, use GNU make.
  29
  30 gdb/486: The HP/UX C compiler defaults to K&R mode but GDB only builds
  31 with an ISO C compiler.  The top level configuration incorrectly sets
  32 CC to `cc' instead of `cc -Ae'.  As a workaround, the correct compiler
  33 can be specified as part of the configuration vis:
  34
  35     $  'CC=cc -Ae' ./configure

  38 s390*-*-*
  39 ---------
  40
  41 gdb/513: GDB does not build on s390 GNU/Linux.  The problem should be
  42 fixed in more recent sources.

  44
  45 i386-*-freebsd4.4*
  46 ------------------
  47
  48 gdb/455: GDB doesn't build on a FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE system.  The
  49 problem is still being investigated.
