Hi All,

I am getting below error message for 64-bit gdb-7.2 build on AIX5.3

my environment details are

CC=gcc
CFLAGS="-maix64"
OBJECT_MODE=64

# ./configure --disable-werror --disable-nls --enable-64-bit-bfd --target=powerpc64-ibm-aix5.3.0.0

64-bit gdb is not recognizing the either 32-bit or 64-bit XCOFF executable. 32-bit gbd is working fine.

Please let me know am i missing any configuration options ??
