So we break what worked on a Tier1 Platform? With my "user" hat on these are the exact kind of breakages that send me looking for another platform to run on. We far to often just go oh you can do X y and Z to get around what we broke forgetting that the user 6 months from now when this hits a release isnt gona come ask, he may just go down the road to something else. Remove gdb WHEN klldb can replace it, not a day before. Using "oh its broken on aarch64 and mips" is not a reason to break things on i386/amd64. Yes, I know we want to get gnu stuff out of the tree, but that needs to come AFTER a proper replacement is avaliable. > > > Also, how to generate core.txt after crash, reboot and install gdb > > from ports?
