[uClinux-dev] uClinux - gdb problems

[Arun Biyani]

I recently downloaded the uClinux sources & tool chain for Coldfire 
(5272) and installed
everything on a Linux machine. The following options in the "Customize 
vendor/user settings"
result in compile errors :
        1.  gdbserver
        2.  gdb (target)
        3.  gdb (host)

I am able to compile "gdbserver (old)". With the older gdbserver & 
running m68k-elf-gdb, I
am unable to debug. So I am assuming, I need

        1. gdb (host)
        2. gdbserver

Can I get by with gdbserver (old) or do I need the new one? Can I use 
the gdb that came with
the toolchain on the host or do I need "gdb (host)"?

With "gdbserver (old)" & "gdb (host)" enabled, I get the following 
errors. If its an installation problem,
what could it be? Pretty much everything else compiles. I logged in as 
root to install the tools and
as myself to unpack the sources.

Thx
