I spent quite a bit of time last week trying to port CVSup (and ezm3) to FreeBSD/sparc64. I updated the ezm3 code generator to gcc-2.95.4, but I'm still running into what appear to be code generation bugs. The code isn't completely broken -- e.g., when it's about to die, it manages to print a message saying so. I don't know whether the problem is due to sparc bugs in gcc-2.95.4 or due to a porting bug on my part. I would try gcc-3.2, but that port looks like it would be a substantially larger effort. I don't think I can make any further progress on this until gdb works. And fixing gdb is not something I want to add to my personal task list. If someone else can get gdb working to the point where I can set breakpoints, step through code, examine variables, etc., then there's a reasonable chance I can get CVSup working on this platform. Until then, I'm afraid the effort is stalled. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
