From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: To debug 32-bit programs running under ia32el (ia32el-1.0-2) requires a copy of 32-bit gdb (gdb-6.0post-0.20040223.6.i386.rpm) also running under ia32el. In addition, it requires the following rpms, bash-2.05b-29.i386.rpm libtermcap-2.0.8-35.i386.rpm Also, strace support for 32-bit programs requires strace-4.5.1-1.EL.1.i386.rpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Run a 32-bit program using gdb or strace. Actual Results: 64-bit gdb and 64-bit strace cannot be effectively used on 32-bit programs because they show the internal workings of the execution layer. Additional info:
The bug was filed against gdb because there was no ia32el component.
This is now fixed, as those packages are available.
