Comment 23 for bug 859473

Hi,

Mans has found what was causing gdb to crash:

<mru> it's crashing in get_linux_version()
<mru> in gdb/arm-linux-nat.c
<mru> on the 3rd strtoul call
<mru> probably totally hating the fact version is reported as 3.1

so it's unrelated to the SIGILL issues.

So that means that getting a core from a SIGILL would still be interesting.

If someone can combine the hwpack and rootfs I referenced before,
boot it

  ulimit -c 1024
  hwclock

then it should dump a core that may give us some more info.

Getting a fixed gdb on to the system would also be possible so that
the commands could be run directly, rather than working on the core.

Thanks,

James
