The version with 3.0 complains that it can't understand the format of an
a.out image. If you create a short C program, a la
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
printf("Hi!\n");
}
and compile it a la:
cc -aout -g -o foo foo.c
Then go:
gdb foo
It will load gdb, then complain that the format is unrecognized....
As a "work around", I recompiled a copy from my 2.2.6 machine with -static
defined, and copied it over. It seems to work ok....
