Hi,

I'm wondering if there is any reason why libunwind would/could not
work readily on 32 bit ppc systems.

Regards,

There does appear to be some support for ppc32 (although I do not have
access to such a system), is it not working for you? Do you have more
details?

Hi Dave,

no details - just a question at this stage. As I do have such systems
your answer encourages me to maybe try it out to see what happens.

Oh - the thing that brought me here was HeapTrack. Libunwind (and a
few other libs) are dependencies.

Regards,

Amit

After some delay I've started to try to cross compile libunwind on ppc32.

I get undefined reference to _Uppc32_get_elf_image when libtool tried to
link Gperf-simple. Error traced to SRC/elfxx.c:349.

Any ideas on what might be up? Happy to invest time to bottom this out.

Amit

Please ignore previous question. I've corrected my mis-configuration. When
passing --host I missed the os which caused configure to conclude g++
didn't do shared libs. Not sure how that led to the error but I have a
build, so can look at trying to use libunwind 😀.
