Avoid crash with cross-linux core file
An internal test case creates a core file using gcore, then restarts gdb with that core. When run with a cross-linux gdb (in this case, x86-64 host with ppc64-linux target), the test fails: | (gdb) core core | [New LWP 18437] | warning: `/lib64/libc.so.6': Shared library architecture unknown is not compatible with target architecture powerpc:common64. | warning: Could not load shared library symbols for /lib64/ld64.so.1. | Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"? | ../../src/gdb/gdbarch.c:3388: internal-error: int gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special_p(gdbarch*): Assertion `gdbarch != NULL' failed. | A problem internal to GDB has been detected, | further debugging may prove unreliable. | Quit this debugging session? (y or n) y What's happening here is that the core file lists some shared libraries. These aren't available via the solib search path, and so gdb finds the local (x86-64) libraries. This is not ideal, but on the other hand, it is what was asked for -- while the test does set solib-search-path, it does not set the sysroot. But, because gdb isn't configured to handle these libraries, it crashes. It seems to me that it's better to avoid the crash by having solib_bfd_open fail in the case where a library is incompatible. That is what this patch does. Now it looks like: | [New LWP 15488] | Error while mapping shared library sections: | `/lib64/libc.so.6': Shared library architecture unknown is not compatible with target architecture powerpc:common64. ... and does not crash gdb. I don't have a good setup for testing this using dejagnu, so I don't know whether an existing gdb test covers this scenario.
