By default, when using the -g switch, avr-gcc generates stabs debug
information. I think it would make more sense to test GDB against DWARF
information, because stabs is obsolete by now, and nobody work on it.
So change the simavr board to pass -gdwarf-4 as the debug flag.
The downside is that users are probably more likely to use just -g, so
we don't test GDB the same way as users are likely to use it. But in
this case, if somebody comes and asks for help with GDB for AVR, I
suggest we encourage them to use -gdwarf-4.
I can't give stats about how that changes test results, because the
testsuite is too broken. There is an internal error that happens quite
frequently that needs to be investigated:
/home/simark/src/wt/avr/gdb/trad-frame.h:143: internal-error: LONGEST trad_frame_saved_reg::addr() const: Assertion `m_kind == trad_frame_saved_reg_kind::ADDR' failed.
I sent a question on the gcc mailing list, asking why stabs is the
default:

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
