regarding kgdb in ppc

[Anumolu Sudheer]

Hello All
I am in process of learning kgdb and facing some problem with gdbserver. I
am not able to "configure and make"   the gdbserver .  Sorry fot the long
mail.

Did anyone tried to compile the KGDB with this powerpc-eabi ?? Please
help me in solving this.

Setup datails are below..
Host:  x86,  RHEL-2.6.9-34.EL
Target Linux- 2.6.16.2
Target Processor: AMCC440SPe
The kgdb version : linux-2.6.15.5-kgdb-2.4
GDB  version gdb-6.4-kgdb-2.4.tar.bz2
CrossCompiler - powerpc-eabi

I applied the patch to the kernel and cross compiled it.(modified to solve
the compilation errors  as is not supported readymade).

I used the steps given in "http://www.kegel.com/linux/gdbserver.txt " to
build the gdb.

I compiled the gdb for host with  following commands

#ls
gdb-6.4  gdb-6.4-kgdb-2.4.tar.bz2

#mkdir ppc440
#cd ppc440
#/bin/sh ../gdb-6.4/configure --target=powerpc-eabi
--with-solib-absolute-prefix=/opt/ppc440
#make
#cd ..

For gdbserver, if i give the "--target=powerpc-eabi" to "configure"
script,  it says the target
is not supported by gdbserver and if i give "--target=powerpc-linux",
it doesnt show any error
but its output doesn't look fine .  But when i do make. i get many
errors saying many files
are not found.  (Adding few required header files didnt help.)

I cross compiled the gdbserver with following commands:

[root at localhost gdb]# mkdir cross-ppc440
[root at localhost gdb]# ls
cross-ppc440  gdb-6.4  gdb-6.4-kgdb-2.4.tar.bz2  ppc440

 gdb]# cd cross-ppc440/
