Has anyone out there built gdb for cross-platform debugging? We have a remote kernel debug setup that uses gdb as a front end to talk to a monitor on the target machine, but thus far we've only been in situations where the host & target were the same architecture. We may need to build gdb on a SPARC or 386 to debug an 88k target. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's done this (especially for an 88k target). Thanks, Steve reinhard@samsung.com

I have a cross-debugger or remote-debugger running on a MC68010, SYSV machine. I intended to use it to debug motorola based VME interface cards. I wrote an 'almost workable' server for mc68000. The communication between the gdb and the server was thru a piece of dual-ram wich was on the interface card. (The card itself was a serial-paralell interface.) It run pretty nice but it was just a hobby and I had no time to finish it. Now I would like to contact somebody who has experiences with GDB and the texas TMS processors because I try to write the same cross-debugger for TMS 34020 . Cheers Bela ( bela@videoton.hu )
