The fact that gdb is not a cross-tool in the buildworld sense of the meaning is because we don't need gdb to cross-build world. This does not mean that gdb cannot be a cross-tool from a developers point of view. In fact, it's really handy to be able to debug a kernel remotely when the debugger doesn't run on the same architecture as the kernel. I for one do not want to have 2 machines per architecture for the only reason that I want to debug a kernel remotely. So, I made some changes to work towards that goal. I see no problems or harm, especially since I'm not misusing TARGET_ARCH. The ability to build a cross-debugger is simply not utilized as part of a buildworld. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
