Description Jan Kratochvil 2006-09-30 09:09:07 UTC
Description of problem:
gdb fails to find the sources of the debugged inferior at least on ppc64; it
works on i386.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdb-6.5-8.fc6.ppc64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gdb /usr/bin/gdb
2. start
  
Actual results:
(gdb) start
Breakpoint 1 at 0x100626f4
Starting program: /usr/bin/gdb 
main (argc=1, argv=0x1ffffffe248) at gdb/gdb.c:30
30      gdb/gdb.c: No such file or directory.
        in gdb/gdb.c
(gdb) _

Expected results:
(gdb) start
Breakpoint 1 at 0x807e501: file gdb/gdb.c, line 28.
Starting program: /usr/bin/gdb 
main (argc=1, argv=0xbf8d8b84) at gdb/gdb.c:28
28      {
(gdb) _

Additional info:
It works at least on i386.

Comment 1 Jan Kratochvil 2006-09-30 09:10:15 UTC
Workaroundable by `cd', the sources are present there at the right place:
(gdb) cd /usr/src/debug/gdb-6.5/
Working directory /usr/src/debug/gdb-6.5.
(gdb) start
Breakpoint 1 at 0x100626f4
Starting program: /usr/bin/gdb 
main (argc=1, argv=0x1ffffffe238) at gdb/gdb.c:30
30        memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);


Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-04-03 18:22:07 UTC
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

The process we're following is outlined here:

We will be following the process here:

doesn't happen again.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-05-07 00:54:06 UTC
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was
first requested. As a result we are closing it.

If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora
version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
