No, I have not. I'm hesitant because it looks like a substantial effort and a major change in how the source is built. I will look into it if that's what it takes to get it sponsored. Just to be clear, you're proposing to build-depend on gdb-source and then use /usr/src/gdb.tar.xz? Thanks ...Juerg FTR, gdb-source is 16.3, crash currently wants 16.2 which is hard-coded all over the place: $ git grep GDB_16_2 Makefile:GDB_FLAGS=-DGDB_16_2 configure.c:#define GDB_16_2 (7) configure.c:#define SUPPORTED_GDB_VERSIONS (GDB_16_2 + 1) configure.c:int default_gdb = GDB_16_2; configure.c: "GDB_FLAGS=-DGDB_16_2", configure.c: sp = &supported_gdb_versions[GDB_16_2]; defs.h:#if defined(GDB_5_3) || defined(GDB_6_0) || defined(GDB_6_1) || defined(GDB_7_0) || defined(GDB_7_3_1) || defined(GDB_7_6) || defined(GDB_10_2) || defined(GDB_16_2) defs.h:#if defined(GDB_7_0) || defined(GDB_7_3_1) || defined(GDB_7_6) || defined(GDB_10_2) || defined(GDB_16_2) gdb-16.2.patch:+ @$(MAKE) -C ../..
