Download the latest version from GDB CVS. It has support for Mac OS
X/
x86 (both 32 and 64 bit; no PowerPC support though), although there
are still some rough edges:
* calling functions from within gdb will often crash, because gdb
does
not align the stack to 16 bytes before calling the function
* when the debugged program finishes its execution, gdb crashes
Those are the two issues I encountered, but other than that it
already
works fairly well (I'm not using it for debugging Ada though).
You're right about PPC support with latest GDB (gdb-6.8.50.20090426)
on my old iBook G4 with 10.4:
configure: error: "*** Gdb does not support native target powerpc-
apple-darwin8.11.0"
Is there a way to modify GDB? Or what could a correct previous GDB
release with PPC?
There never has been any Darwin/ppc support in FSF's GDB. You would
have to manually patch FSF GDB using code from Apple's fork to add
Darwin/ppc support.
