[Qemu-devel] Using GDB to debug the sparc64 target

[Jakub Jermar]

Hi,

I'd like to help with debugging the sparc64 target (to get HelenOS
run on it). I'd like to use gdb for that purpose, however, I get
the following error when I try to connect to qemu from gdb:

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround for this?
The qemu version I am running is trunk, the host is
an ordinary ia32 system.

Thanks,
Jakub
