In a later commit I'd like to add support to GDB for including the NT_386_TLS note in the core files that GDB creates (using 'gcore' command). To achieve this we need some standard boilerplate code added to bfd. The only part of this patch which I think needs consideration is the name I selected for the pseudo section to hold the note contents when a core file is loaded. I chose '.reg-i386-tls'. The '.reg' prefix is the standard used by most other pseudo sections, and the '-i386-tls' suffix seemed to match the note name, though I added the 'i' to 'i386', instead of just using '.reg-386-tls'. I thought 'i386' seemed clearer. There's no test included here, but when I merge the NT_386_TLS creation to GDB it will depend on this and act as a test. I plan to post that work to the GDB list once this patch is merged.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
