gdb @ 6.8 fails to build everything

Description
I put this Portfile together in the hope that the build and install would be smooth. It's not. It may be that the automatic detection of the target architecture is wrong. The main concern is this:
checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin9.7.0
checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin9.7.0
checking target system type... i386-apple-darwin9.7.0
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 accepts -g... yes
checking for /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether /usr/bin/g++-4.0 accepts -g... yes
checking for gnatbind... no
checking for gnatmake... no
checking whether compiler driver understands Ada... no
checking how to compare bootstrapped objects... cmp --ignore-initial=16 $$f1 $$f2
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
bfd opcodes gdb sim
(Any other directories should still work fine.)
So what is happening is the build and install is working, but only partially. It would be preferable that the build fails at this point, but it does not!
It looks like the main thing to get right is the target platform identifier. I looked into it briefly, but it's not resolved yet. I would hope that if the target platform is identified correctly (and fully supported by gdb 6.8), the port will be functional.
If anyone has the motivation and patience to look into it further (as I will when I get time), the first thing to do is to run port in debug mode, i.e.:
sudo port -d destroot gdb
This will provide a lot of information on what port is doing. The destroot target does the configure and build, then runs make install with a custom DESTDIR. MacPorts uses that DESTDIR, called destroot, as a way to parse the files in the port, install the files into /opt/local/var/macports/software/gdb/ and then activate the port with hard links in /opt/local to the files in the software/gdb installation.
The destroot path for this port is
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_gdb/work/destroot
The pitiful truth is that the only files currently installed there are:
.../destroot/ .../destroot//opt .../destroot//opt/local .../destroot//opt/local/lib .../destroot//opt/local/lib/libiberty.a .../destroot//opt/local/share .../destroot//opt/local/share/info .../destroot//opt/local/share/info/configure.info .../destroot//opt/local/share/info/standards.info

Similarly, these fail too:
./configure --build=i386-apple-darwin --host=i386-apple-darwin --target=i386-apple-darwin . [snipped] . configure: error: "*** Gdb does not support native target i386-apple-darwin" ./configure --build=i386-bsd --host=i386-bsd --target=i386-bsd . [snipped] . configure: error: "*** Gdb does not support native target i386-pc-bsd"
According to bfd/config.bfd, one of the supported targets is:
i[3-7]86-*-darwin* | i[3-7]86-*-macos10* | i[3-7]86-*-rhapsody*)
targ_defvec=mach_o_le_vec
targ_selvecs="mach_o_le_vec mach_o_be_vec mach_o_fat_vec pef_vec pef_xlib_vec sym_vec"
targ_archs="bfd_i386_arch bfd_powerpc_arch bfd_rs6000_arch"
;;
That concludes the examination of the problem to date. The current state of development (testing) for the port may be seen in this Portfile:
https://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/users/dweber/devel/gdb/Portfile
The MacPorts trunk Portfile will be disabled at the fetch stage, with a ui_msg about this ticket.

Recent CVS version of gdb seems to be working on OS X 10.5.8 ... I'm able to get it compiled and running it with emacs 23.

Please feel free to submit any Portfiles that work with gdb.
Debugging the builds is beyond me. I gave up on this port a long time ago, but it's still around (somehow). Does anyone want to take this on? If so, please remove me as the Portfile maintainer.
Thanks, Darren

Replying to blair@…:
sysdep.h:173:21: error: libintl.h: No such file or directory
This looks like it needs a dependency on gettext added.

Looks like the error is the 64-bit build, upstream bug report: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10751
comment:19 Changed 14 years ago by CaptSolo
Regarding errors building gdb 7.0.1 (see below), is there a way to prevent gdb from building amd64 related stuff?
After all, Mac OS X builds are likely to run on Intel CPUs (though perhaps AMD related code is needed for debugging cross-compiled code).
P.S. should this ticket be re-opened?

daily tarball of GDB 7.1.50 (.20100223) compiles fine. see attached Portfile.
there is just a small issue when activating the compiled port, which can be worked around by using -f:

an update: GDB 7.1.50 gets installed fine, but there are problems when trying to load a program to debug (e.g. python in this case):
(gdb) run Starting program: /opt/local/bin/python Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 37881: (os/kern) failure (0x5). (please check gdb is codesigned - see taskgated(8))
any ideas how to fix this?

I followed the apple discussion thread above to:
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin
following the advice there and in:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-dev/2009/Sep/msg00097.html
I did the following to my local copy (on 10.6.2)
sudo chgrp procmod gdb sudo chmod g+s gdb
after building from the 7.1 cvs branch.
after doing this I was able to successfully debug a fortran program built with mp gfortran 4.4 and 4.5.
It only works for dwarf-2 not stabs+ (so -g alone should work but remember to keep the .o files).
As a plus I can see fortran common block variables which doesn't work in the apple gdb.
I do get a warning like this:
warning: can't find section 'DATA.common' in OSO file XXX
Also there are *lots* of warning like: warning: `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_gcc44/work/build/x86_64-apple-darwin10/libgcc/letf2_s.o': can't open to read symbols: No such file or directory.
when you start the program but it seems to work anyway.

This problem seems to be described here: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22198
Also, my previous entry had two lines concatenated. It should be:
sudo chgrp procmod gdb
sudo chmod g+s gdb
According to this bug in 2008, this port may not get fixed without access to Apple patches, see:
