OK, with gdb 5.1 I get the following result:

env CC='cc -xildoff -xarch=v9' ./configure >& configure-log
make -j 4 >& build.log
banach-498% ~/programs/gdb/gdb-5.1/gdb/gdb gengenrtl

This GDB was configured as "sparc-sun-solaris2.8"...
.gdbinit:7: Error in sourced command file:
../../gcc/gdbinit.in:91: Error in sourced command file:
Function "fancy_abort" not defined.

and

env CC='cc -xildoff -xarch=v9' ./configure sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8 >& configure-log

won't configure.

With today's CVS sources of gdb and dejagnu I get

env CC='cc -xildoff -xarch=v9' ./configure >& configure-log
make
...
cc -xildoff -xarch=v9 -c -g  -I/usr/include/v9  -I. -I. -I./config -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./../include/opcode -I./../readline/.. -I../bfd -I./../bfd  -I./../include -I../intl -I./../intl  -DMI_OUT=1 -DUI_OUT=1   doublest.c
"doublest.c", line 735: void function cannot return value
cc: acomp failed for doublest.c

and

env CC='cc -xildoff -xarch=v9' ./configure sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8 >& configure-log

won't configure.


So, specifically,

1.  Which version of gdb did you get to configure and compile?
2.  Which 64-bit compiler did you use to build gdb?
