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. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
