>Description:
In /gnu/usr.bin/gdb/gdb/remote_ipkdb.c, we have:
sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
sin.sin_port = 1138;
sin.sin_addr.s_addr = 0;
if (bind(ipkdb_desc, (struct sockaddr *)&sin, sizeof sin) < 0)
fatal("netopen: bind failed\n");
Now, I've never tried to run ipkdb, but I think the above will fail if you
are initiating gdb from a little-endian machine. The "1138" needs to
be put in network byte order.
>How-To-Repeat:
As I said, I've never tried it.
>Fix:
sin.sin_port = htons(1138);
