-# General Information
-
-
-## [[/Binutils]]
-
-As these tools primarily deal with low-level parts of the target architecture
-and the object file format (ELF ABI), which are essentially (at least meant to
-be) the same, there shouldn't be many differences comparing the binutils
-between the GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux ports, for example. There are a few,
-though, as explained below.
-
-
-## [[/GDB]]
-
-GDB needs an processor architecture as well as operating system port.

-Last reviewed up to Git commit c2853f3d99797a321c37948297441ca6021f719a
-(2014-02-14).
-
- * Globally
-
- * a.out (such as `ld/emulparams/i386linux.sh`, `ld/emultempl/linux.em`,
- etc.), COFF, PE image support and 64-bit support are not interesting.
-
- * In the testsuites, `.exp` and `.d` files very likely should not only
- care for `*-*-linux*`, but also `*-*-gnu*`. (If they need to be
- conditionalized like this at all.)
-
- * `bfd/`
-
- * `config.bfd`
-
- * `i[3-7]86-*-gnu*`
-
- Comparing to `i[3-7]86-*-linux-*`:
-
- * `i386linux_vec` -- a.out.
-
- * `i386pei_vec` -- PE.
-
- * 64 bit.
-
- * `configure.host`
-
- Souldn't need anything. x86 Linux neither.
-
- * `configure.in`
-
- Linux:
-
- * `COREFILE=trad-core.lo` with `TRAD_HEADER='"hosts/i386linux.h"'`
-
- We don't have any such core file support configured. TODO: should
- we? Where is this core file reading exactly used? GDB?
-
- * `i386linux_vec` -- a.out.
-
- * `i386pei_vec` -- PE.
-
- * `binutils/`
-
- * `configure.tgt`
-
- * `gas/`
-
- * `config/te-gnu.h`
-
- C.f. `te-linux.h`; search tree for `TE_LINUX` vs. `TE_GNU` usage.
-
- * `tc-i386.h`
-
- Sole `TE_LINUX` usage is for a.out.
-
- * `configure.tgt`
-
- * `gdb/`
-
- * Have a look at config/i386/i386gnu.mh.
-
- * configure.tgt
-
- * glibc-tdep et al. also for GNU/Hurd?
-
- * [[gdb/gdbserver]]
-
- * In `gdb/gnu-nat.c:gnu_wait`, we don't implement
- `gdb/target/wait.h:TARGET_WNOHANG`. What is this needed for?
-
- * `libdecnumber/`
-
- Should/can probably align to GNU/Linux.
-
- * `ld/`
-
- * `configure.host`
-
- * `*-*-gnu*`
-
- TODO: resolve `crt0.o` vs. `crt1.o` issue. [[Testsuite
- failures|binutils#static]].
-
- * `configure.tgt`
-
- * `i[3-7]86-*-gnu*`
-
- Compare to `i[3-7]86-*-linux-*`, but don't need a.out (`i386linux`)
- and 64 bit support.
-
- * `__ehdr_start symbol`, c84ed8d89d0b8bf5a2968d465f77ac24bcfc40c2 -- can this
- be helpful in the exec server, glibc, or elsewhere? Used in GDB (BFD)
- commit bdbd9758806ed855af89244870fdc52cf3ff09bc.
- Used in glibc commit 288f7d79fe2dcc8e62c539f57b25d7662a2cd5ff `Use
- __ehdr_start, if available, as fallback for AT_PHDR.`.
-
- * `Add HOSTING_SCRT0 for PIE test`, 49cc20aa5c416ea4307931cccf6353247368187d
- -- is for GNU/Linux only; but also seems unused.
-
- * 82763a3d329b0d342d0273941b1521be9ef0c604 »MODIFIED is unknown, pass it as
- true.«
-
- * Configure so that Debian system's `/usr/lib/debug/[...]` will be loaded
- automatically.
-
- * [[!message-id "m3ei24vh4l.fsf@fleche.redhat.com"]]
-
- * [low] c26e9cbb0ce70e8fca32a40c434a0837bf46750a,
- `gdb/gnu-nat.c:set_exceptions_cmd`, `Make this take effect immediately in a
- running process`.
-
- * [low] b27caf75c311991772b316fe7c0eecfd5788eeaf, ld, `Add HOSTING_SLIBS and

-# Build
-
-Here's a log of a binutils-gdb build run; this is from Git commit
-c2853f3d99797a321c37948297441ca6021f719a (2014-02-14) plus
-[[!message-id "87vbxxhww4.fsf@kepler.schwinge.homeip.net"]],

-[[!message-id "1391759958-972-2-git-send-email-yao@codesourcery.com"]],
-[[!message-id "1391759958-972-3-git-send-email-yao@codesourcery.com"]], run on
-kepler.SCHWINGE and coulomb.SCHWINGE.
-
- $ export LC_ALL=C
- $ ../W._C._Handy/configure --prefix="$PWD".install --enable-gold --with-sysroot=/ SHELL=/bin/dash CC=gcc-4.8 CXX=g++-4.8 --disable-werror 2>&1 | tee log_build
- [...]
- $ make 2>&1 | tee log_build_
- [...]
-
-Different hosts may default to different shells and compiler versions; thus
-harmonized. Debian GCC (which is used in binutils' testsuite) likes to pass
-`--sysroot=/` to `ld`, so we need to configure binutils with support for
-sysroots. In the GDB build, there are several occurences of *error:
-dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules* in the
-MIG-generated stub files; thus no `-Werror` until that is resolved
-([[strict_aliasing]]).
-
-This takes up around 1.3 GiB, and needs roughly 17 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and
-79 min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

-## Analysis
-
-x86 GNU/Linux' and GNU/Hurd's configurations are slightly different, thus mask
-out most of the differences that are due to GNU/Linux supporting more core file
-formats, and more emulation vectors.
-
- $ toolchain/logs/process binutils-gdb build
-
- * For GDB, why do we specify `-D_GNU_SOURCE`, and GNU/Linux doesn't?
-
- * GNU/Linux: `gdb/symfile-mem.c` for [[vDSO]].
-
- * GNU/Linux: `gdb/i386-nat.c` for hardware breakpoints, etc. -- we should
- probably use that, too. Related to Samuel's Hurd GDB patch?
-
- * `gdb/gnu-nat.c`

- * `libtool: finish`: `ldconfig` is not run for the Hurd.
-
-
-# Testsuite
-
- $ make -k check 2>&1 | tee log_test
- [...]
-
-This needs roughly 20 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 140 min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.
-
-When running `make -k check 2>&1 | tee log_test`, at the end of the testsuite
-the `tee` process does not terminate if there are still stray leftover
-processes that [have their stdout/stderr
-open](http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-10/msg00489.html). `kill`ing
-these (`SIGKILL` may be needed), makes the `tee` process terminate, too. On
-GNU/Hurd, these generally are `gdb.multi/watchpoint-multi`, and an unknown
-(`?`) GDB one ("57 PIDs before" `expect [...] gdb.cp`).
-
-
-## Analysis
-
-GDB's testsuite uses the system's default `gcc` (and similar) compilers, not
-those specified on the `configure` line ([[!taglink open_issue_gdb]]?), see
-`find_gcc` (and similar) usage in the testsuite and DejaGnu. Maybe something
-like `gdb/testsuite/boards/cc-with-tweaks.exp` would help, or setting
-`CC_FOR_TARGET` (and similar) per `gdb/testsuite/lib/future.exp`?
-
- $ toolchain/logs/process binutils-gdb test
-
- * <a name="static"><!-- stable_URL -->`FAIL: static [...]`</a>
-
- The testsuite isn't prepared for using `crt0.o` instead of `crt1.o`
- depending on whether a static or dynamic executable is created. Documented
- in `ld/configure.host`. Perhaps we should finally rewrite this messy code
- in glibc? Or, something similar to commit
- 49cc20aa5c416ea4307931cccf6353247368187d `Add HOSTING_SCRT0 for PIE test`
- or commit b27caf75c311991772b316fe7c0eecfd5788eeaf `Add HOSTING_SLIBS and
- use it for -pie`
- can be used.
-
- Same issue for `FAIL: Common symbol override ifunc *` ones?
-
- * <a name="64ksec">`FAIL: ld-elf/64ksec`</a>
-
- On the idle grubber, this one takes a few minutes wall time to complete
- successfully ([[I/O system
- weakness|performance/io_system/binutils_ld_64ksec]]), so assuming some
- system load variation, the testsuite's timeout may trigger.
-
- * `FAIL: gas/i386/rept` (intermittently)
-
- Added in commit 06f1247c54126b9f1e6acb8ff8c7be35aec6f44c (2012-06-07) as

- These are all tests where GDB examines itself; being linked against libgc
- (new dependency due to new Guile scripting support; all Guile scripting
- tests PASS). So, probably some bad interaction between GDB and a debuggee
- that is using libgc; maybe libgc is using SIGSEGV for internal signalling
- purposes; see the `HEURISTIC2` discussion on [[boehm_gc]].

- <rekado> I'm trying to debug pfinet, but I'm not very familiar with gdb.
- Tried to attach to the running pfinet process (built with debug symbols),
- set a breakpoint and ... when I ran "info files" the process segfaulted.
- <teythoon> which process segfaults, pfinet or gdb?
- <rekado> gdb segfaults.
