I'm trying to build insight for a linux pc and gdbserver for a big endian based board. I generate insight executables and gdbserver from the same sources insight-6.5. I create 2 directories insight-arm-6.5 and gdbserver-arm6.5. In insight-arm-6.5 I do the following commands: ../insight-6.5/configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-linux
--prefix=/usr/local/insight-arm-6.5 --enable-sim make make install In gdbserver-arm6.5 directory I do: ../insight-6.5/gdb/gdbserver/configure --target=arm-linux
--host=arm-linux --build=i386-linux CC="arm-linux-gcc" CFLAGS="-mbig-endian" LDFLAGS="-mbig-endian" make then I copy gdbserver to the board. When I try to connect to the gdbserver I get this message: [wmrm@ticinux prova]$ /usr/local/insight-arm-6.5/bin/arm-linux-gdb GNU gdb 6.5 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I get the same error if I set gdb to big endian with the command set endian big. I think my configuration of insight is wrong, could anyone help me? Thanks
