... is what I get when I try to start GDB on "Linux arch 3.14.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 13 16:41:39 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
Is there a bug tracker or similar for the Red Hat/TI gcc binutils stuff? I found a similar issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488478
I might end up trying to get the source code to compile for x86_64 instead of using the pre-compiled 32 bit ELFs... which seems like it might fix the problem?
