Folks,
I have a coworker who is having a problem debugging a user-level program
on the power-pc. The program works correctly on a Redhat Linux i386
platform, but fails when writing to a socket on the power-pc, using Linux
2.4.18 (ancient, but unfortunately management doesn't agree with updating
the product). Have any of you been able to use a debugger naitively or
remotely with an embedded power-pc application?
Pointers to possible debuggers are greatly appreciated.

I have used gdb natively and remotely on ppc without too much trouble.
You may need to temporarily load some extra shared-libraries on the
box to get gdb or gdbserver going, but it should be doable without too
much trouble.
Pointers to possible debuggers are greatly appreciated.
