Well, you've hit one of our weakest points here. AFAIK there's currently nobody
taking care of gdb on Linux/PPC. In fact we are lucky that Kevin Buettner's old
patch could be converted to 4.17.x. Unfortunately it's still not integrated
into gdb's mainline due to copyright issues, so we have to reintegrate the patch
in every new version :-(.
So, is someone willing to take care of gdb on Linux/PPC?
Kevin, as a first measure, do you pass LD_BIND_NOW=1 in the environment?
Franz.
