This library uses some GNU extensions from the C library. Say 'y' if you intend to use tracepoints when debugging your programs with gdbserver. Note: Currently, building this library is not possible when the gdbserver is built statically. This is a limitation in crosstool-NG, so do not bug upstream about it... config GDB_NATIVE_STATIC bool prompt "Build a static gdb binaries" depends on EXPERIMENTAL help In case you have trouble with dynamic loading of shared libraries, you will find that a static gdb comes in handy. However, it has been noticed at least on x86 that enabling this option produces an invalid gdb binary. It is linked with "-static -Wl,--dynamic-list=..." which # (a) requests invalid program interpreter # (b) crashes glibc/uClibc-ng and does not work with musl # See https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-03/msg00267.html It is possible it would work with other architectures, hence it is not completely removed. Use with care and report to the mailing list if the resulting binaries work.
