Hi there,

I need to run a debug version of Kodi from a gdb on my wandboard which runs Arch ARM. I therefore downloaded the PKGBUILD, removed the lines

Code:

--enable-optimizations \
--disable-debug \

from the configure options and compiled on my wandboard (no cross-compilation). It worked out fine and I am able to start kodi.bin. However, when I try to run it from the gdb, with

Code:

$ gdb kodi.bin
(gdb) run

I get the following error:

Code:

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x76fdfb24 in _dl_debug_initialize () from /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3

Continuing after the signal doesn't work:

Code:

Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.

I have already tried starting Kodi first and then attach the gdb, but sooner or later I run into the same signal.

Does anybody know what to do? Thanks!

try to get a backtrace from that.

Here is the backtrace:

Code:

(gdb) bt

hard to tell from that, but it could be a bug in ld-linux.
