Hello,
I got some review comment from Bernhard Reutner-Fischer, and I have
updated the patch accordingly.
This patch is for bug opened
here:https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21187
This patch has been identified as one of the desirable patches
to have for the GDB 8.0 release, for which we are hoping to create
the branch ASAP. Without this patch, it would be difficult for
users on AIX to build a functional debugger.
Would it be possible to help Nitish through the review and approval
process?
Here is a ChangeLog entry:
* configure.ac: Add support for --disable-staticlib.
* configure: Regenerate.
Can someone review the patch, please?
Isn't this just papering over the problem by just disabling static
linking rather than digging into why EH is not working with static
linking on AIX?
It'd be different if there was some fundamental reason why EH could not
work with static linking on AIX.
Am I missing something?
Jeff
