Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble compiling gdb 6.3 to be able to examine core files from  
a mipsel-openbsd host, using an i386-openbsd host.

I'm compiling gdb on an OpenBSD 3.6 i386 host with --target=mipsel-openbsd  
and the build succeeds, but when I try to open a core file, gdb complains  
of, "GDB can't read core files on this machine.".

Printing out some debug messages from find_core_target() in gdb/target.c  
reveals that there are none of the "target_ops" structures in  
"target_structs" are "core_stratum"'s.

Are there any switches I need to pass to "configure" to be able to do  
cross architecture core file examination?  Or are there some settings that  
I need to do in runtime from the gdb prompt?

Thanks in advance!
Joe
