Can you please provide me with the build commands you used to cross
compile a native (sh4) gdb? I.E. What flags did you pass to configure?
Did you have to modify Makefiles by hand?

I am trying to build sh4 gdb on my x86 linux workstation, but the native
x86 utilities keep getting used instead of the cross utilities, leading
to incorrect object code.

I am working with the latest GDB CVS sources, with your patch
http://dodo.nurs.or.jp/~kkojima/gnu-on-sh/gdb-cvs-001102.diff.gz
applied. One hunk was rejected due to some format changes, but I applied
it by hand.

Also, have you attempted to use gdbserver on the SH4? I am going to be
debugging very large applications, which may not fit into the embedded
target unless stripped of debugging symbols. gdbserver works with a
stripped binary on the target and communicates with a master gdb, which
has a non-stripped binary, on a workstation.

Thank you!

Regards,

Bryan
