Problem Running DDD

[Sriharsha]

Hello Everyone,

   we have a custom processor for which we have ported version 3.2 of 
gcc (though not an official port yet) (which includes gdb). All the 
tool-names are prefixed as "rpine-elf32-<toolname>". At present the 
processor is realized on an FPGA. So, we need to specify the target as 
fpga in gdb.

Our toolchain is installed in the directory: /opt/GNUPlus/rpine/

Now, I want to integrate ddd with this version of gdb, and so I issued 
the command as follows (as root, as connecting to fpga via parallel port 
needs root previleages in Redhat Linux 8.0)

root$ ddd --debugger /opt/GNUPlus/rpine/bin/rpine-elf32-gdb --gdb 
/usr/Project125/alpha/a.out


This command is making ddd start.
Then I issued the command:
"tar fpga /dev/lp0" (this command, I issue from command line also).
Then I issued the command:
"load /usr/Project125/alpha/a.out"

Here, it is loading all the sections and then Seg Faulting (gdb is 
segfaulting, therby causing ddd to restart/quit).

This cannot be a problem with our gdb as it is working perfectly fine 
from Command Line. Its only when I integrate with 'ddd' that I am 
getting the problem and hence my question is in this list.

Please advice where I am going wrong.

Kind regards,
Sriharsha.
