While debugging a ppc64le QEMU guest on an x86_64 host, I observed GDB crashes
when attempting to attach to the remote target:
(gdb) target remote :1234
Investigation revealed that cross-compiling the Linux kernel for ppc64le on an
x86_64 host using Clang produces a vmlinux binary containing an empty .interp
section. This empty .interp section is responsible for the GDB crashes.
Which version of CLANG is it ?
This issue does not occur when:
- Building for ppc64le target using GCC on x86_64 host
- Building for ppc64le target using Clang on ppc64le host
Is it the same CLANG version ?
- Building for ppc64le target using GCC on ppc64le host
