NetBSD nada 3.99.15 NetBSD 3.99.15 (NADA) #31: Sun Feb 26 06:18:58 MSK 2006  uwe@sampo:/export/netbsd/cvs/src/sys/arch/hpcsh/compile/NADA hpcsh
>Description:
In binutils 2.16 support for SuperH has been rototilled.  In particular,
they now handle superh variants differently.  Since gdb53 uses old libfd,
it doesn't recognize binaries compiled with new binutils as superh binaries.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ readelf -h /bin/echo | grep Flags
  Flags:                             0x2, sh2
$ gdb -q /bin/echo
(no debugging symbols found)...(gdb)
$ readelf -h /bin/ls | grep Flags
  Flags:                             0x16, unknown ISA
$ gdb -q /bin/ls
"/bin/ls": not in executable format: File format not recognized

Readelf has been fixed actually, but a copy of libbfd that comes with gdb53
need to be tought the new flags.

 Module Name:	src

 	src/gnu/dist/gdb/include/elf: sh.h

 Log Message:
 In binutils 2.16 new SuperH flags were introduced.  Since we still use
 old gdb, teach it new flags, so that it can recognize binaries compiled
 with new binutils.  For new flags set arch to an approximate superset
 that this version of bfd knows about.  This is good enough for gdb.
