[Bug 1318809] Re: Support for the ppc64el arch

 

Hi Matthias,

I built a test version of the crash package for internal testing here. 
It's probably going to have its round of testing on Monday (due to timezone differences).

It's just 
  - the patches above in gdb-7.6-ppc64el.patch (filterdiff --strip=1 --addprefix=gdb-7.6/ patches/*.patch)
  - changes in debian/rules to incorporate that into gdb-7.6.patch (I didn't try to make the build system pick more than 1 patch file in Makefile)
   - trivial change in debian/control.

Attaching the debdiff if it's of any help.

Thanks,

** Patch added: "crash_7.0.3-3ubuntu2.1+lp1318809.c3_ppc64el.debdiff"

Title:
  Support for the ppc64el arch

Status in “crash” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Is it possible to (discuss how to) enable the crash package to on the
  ppc64el arch?

  Recently the kernel received the config changes 
  (CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, currently in the -proposed pocket [1])

  Is it hard to move to GDB 7.7? (ppc64el GDB package starts on that
  version).

  Thanks!
