Yes, it's awkward, but that's what you need to do in the current state of the world. cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb make clean cleandepend env OBJFORMAT=aout make obj depend env OBJFORMAT=aout make all install clean cleandepend If your -current is recent enough, the new gdb will be installed into /usr/libexec/aout. You can then run it with "gdb -aout ...". Your ELF gdb will also still be available. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
