Fwd: mips64 gdb problem

[Maxim Osipov]

Hello,

I wonder, is there some way to get debuger working on N64 target?

Thanks,
Maxim

GCC generates a wacky 64-bit format, otherwise only used on IRIX.  I
think this is a bug in GCC.  GDB could be adapted to generally sort of
cope with it, but not completely - there's some ambiguity.

I'm butting heads with this problem also.  I get the error below when
running mips64-unknown-linux-gdb on a 64 bit mips binary.  Has anyone come
up with a work around?

Thanks,
Bryan
