The version of no, --disable-tui was added so we don't have 2 nearly identical huge gdb binaries in /bin. in fact we do not even link against ncurses, as gdb can be built against the much smaller termcap library. (however ncurses will be picked up automatically if it was installed before building gdb, no problems there either.) > gdb that I built is a bit newer than sabotage's (7.7 vs. 7.6/7.5), but I > don't believe that matters. > >> >>>>> At this point I am no longer seeking a solution (unless you have one >>>>> ready), but thought I should share this for the record. As an also for the record, the problem you encountered with -fPIC was due to a .so built unconditionally during gdbserver compilation, and if you have -static in your LDFLAGS, the buildsystem will try to create the .so with both -shared and -static, instead of stripping the -static off for that step. --disable-inprocess-agent can be used to get gdbserver without building that dso, which seems rather useless anyway. --JS
