Subject:   Changing gdb (3.0) to debug AOUT
Message-ID:  <199812311321.IAA03197@spoon.beta.com>

I've been running 3.0 for a bit, and I'm running in to a snag with a.out
binaries (including being unable to remote-debug kernels). It appears that
the gdb w/3.0 will debug ELF binaries just fine, but doesn't recognize the
a.out format. 

I've mucked around in the code, but don't see where the target controls whether
its an ELF or a.out target. Is it a function of which its compiled with? Can
I get away just rebuilding it with -aout? If so, where is a good place to
stick this flag?
