Hello all,

I'm having some difficulty building elfutils (required by gdb) and I think
its relating to the fact that im using uclibc.

Yes elfutils has some glibc kinship unfortunately which is hard to untangle.
However gdb does not need elfutils in fact. please cherry-pick
following commit from oe-core master

The build works if I switch to eglibc. Can anyone help me figure out what
might cause this?

Hi Raj

Thank you for your reply - this seems to have resolved my issue.

Can you let me know if there is a correct way to build gdbserver into my target? I have tried a few things and none of them seem to work. THIS page suggests that there should be a gdbserver package but it doesn seem to exist when I try to include it. Including 'gdb' on its own doesnt seem to put gdbserver on the target. Also - i have tried EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "tools-debug" in local.conf but that breaks everything as it depends on X11 which I am not using.

Regards,
John
