[PATCH] scripts/gdb: fix lx-version for gdb 7.3-
From: Du Changbin
Date: Tue Oct 16 2018 - 22:37:47 EST
For gdb version less than 7.3, lx-version only one character.
(gdb) lx-version
L(gdb)
This can be fixed by casting 'linux_banner' as (char *).
(gdb) lx-version
Linux version 4.19.0-rc1+ (changbin@acer) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #21 SMP Sat Sep 1 21:43:30 CST 2018
gdb 7.4 seems to be no such issue.
