The term gdb-client is deceptive - although it parallels the gdb-server name,
it is actually a full fledged gdb version. I want to use it to debug uClibc
core files on my host system. Although I haven't got that to work yet, I wasted
time figuring out how to do build gdb for the host not realizing it already had
a target. With this documentation change, things would have been a lot clearer
to me.
patches which were then sliced down to this list since all the other
ones were checked in or just applied with horrific failure. Also added
new NPTL support patch for MIPS courtesy of Daniel J. Suckers, err I
mean testers wanted.
0000050: gdb_server and gdb_client fixes and split
Here is a patch with 2 issues.
gdbserver does not depend on ncurses (just the full gdb needs it)
Split out gdb client config option, to be separate from gdbserver. If you
build gdb client for the host once it does not need to be rebuilt when the rest
of libs change. So I build it and save it off.
A few more little ones.
busybox fdisk with large files should be removed without large files.
gdbtarget/gdb_client got mixed up in the Makefile.in.
I think gdbtarget should have a depend on ncurses but I am not
sure if it should go in the config or in the .mk.
It may be nice to split out the server and client.
uclibc.mk was checking BR2_SOFT_FLOAT for true not y.
