Bug Description

Hi,

Thanks a bunch for the 64-bit toolchain and libc for PPC.

However, there's no GDB -- it would be nice to have either a biarch one or a
separate gdb64 binary. Not sure how it's handled on x86_64, but the similar
would be useful.

I.e. currently:

olof@g5:~$ gcc -m64 test.c
olof@g5:~$ gdb a.out

This GDB was configured as "powerpc-linux-gnu"..."/home/olof/a.out": not in
executable format: File format not recognized

I have tried to use the gdb from gdb package on breezy CD.
no GO.
the gdb is launched, and even loads a file,
but when I try to run or set a breakpoint, it segfaults!

I will cooperate to eliminate this ASAP. contact me.

Max.

Feisty 64-bit? There's no 64-bit version for PPC, just 32-bit + selected 64 bit pieces.

And yes, it still fails on feisty.
