SCO comp.unix.sco.programmer FAQ.: Issues with GDB on OpenServer and UnixWare.

	SCO comp.unix.sco.programmer FAQ. : SCO Development Environments. : Issues with GDB on OpenServer and UnixWare.
	OpenServer 5 support in GDB was sneaked into GDB 4.16 at the last minute and suffered from some problems. You must run configure --target=i486-unknown-sco3.2v5.0.0elf' to get a gdb that recognizes both COFF and ELF. Generally, you'll be better off using a GDB from Skunkware or building a newer version. 4.17 and 4.18 seem to work well. robertlipe@usa.net
	GDB 4.17 works well on OpenServer. robertlipe@usa.net
	GDB 4.18 seems to work OK for OpenServer. For UnixWare 7, you must either configure --target=i686-UnixWare7-sysv42mp or apply a minor patch to configure.tgt. robertlipe@usa.net
	If you are using gdb (or the native debugger) on Openserver and you get warnings of the form "no debugging symbols" on an ELF executable even though you are sure you gave specified -g on the object and executable build lines make sure that all the objects ( and libraries) going into the executable are also ELF format. The devsys will make ELF executables if any of the incoming objects are ELF. Any COFF files are converted to ELF format in passing but in the process symbol and debug information is removed from the resulting executable. All COFF objects -> COFF executable with symbol info All ELF objects -> ELF executable with symbol info Mixed ELF/COFF objects -> ELF executable - symbol info stripped. hops@sco.com
