This still the case?

Comment 3 Jan Kratochvil 2006-09-26 08:36:16 UTC
Tested on ppcp-4as.lab.boston.redhat.com:
* on RHEL4U3 its native gdb-6.3.0.0-1.132.EL4.ppc64
* on the current RawHide (chrooted there, so on kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.ppc64) its
native gdb-6.5-8.fc6.ppc64
* on the current RawHide (chrooted there, so on kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.ppc64) the
downloaded
http://armstrong.rhts.boston.redhat.com/distros/nightly/rawhide-20060923/development/ppc64/os/Fedora/RPMS/gdb-6.5-8.fc6.ppc64.rpm
(as current RawHide does not contain gdb.ppc64 - Bug 206488)

In all the cases not reproducible for gdb.ppc6 -> /bin/echo (ppc), expecting
some other system component (already fixed nowadays) dependency there. Please
reopen if some reason still exists.
