Andris,

I downloaded the latest GDB snapshot today and checked to see if the 786
processor was supported and it wasn't. I modified the config.bfd &
targmatch.h files, but then hit the error below which has got me stumped and
I am not sure what I have done to get the cofigure stage to fail as I built
GDB 5.2 on my old Celleron PC earlier this month, but since then I have
upgraded to a P4 and copied the DJGPP directory structure over to the new PC
and have re-built all the other packages first go with teh exception of
groff  where I didn't delete a temporary file and once this was done it
built.

I have compared allot of the GDB directories between the GDB 5.2 on the
Celleron and the P4 and it looks like I have a problem with some
configuration file or
some other file that is used in the GDB configuration stage.

The broken GDB configure output is:-

A snippit from the working GDB bfd\config.log file is:-
configure:4602: checking for dirent.h that defines DIR
configure:4640: checking for opendir in -ldir
configure:4725: checking for fcntl
configure:4725: checking for getpagesize

A snippit from the broken GDB bfd\config.log file is:-
configure:4602: checking for dirent.h that defines DIR
configure:4615: gcc -c -O2 -g  conftest.c 1>&5
configure:4640: checking for opendir in -ldir
configure:4659: gcc -o conftest.exe -O2 -g   conftest.c -ldir   1>&5
c:/dj204/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -ldir
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 4648 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

This is the first differnce in the bfd\config.log file

Any ideas???

Andrew
