Bug#670200: gdb: ships syscalls decls for unrelated archs
Package: gdb
Version: 7.4really-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-embedded@lists.debian.org
In /usr/share/gdb/syscalls/, the standard gdb package installs many
files, seamingly for support of other archs, although "set arch" will
make it obvious that very few of those are indeed usable with the
installed binary.
This makes it uncomfortable to simultaneously install cross gdb
packages from emdebian, as those currently ship the same set of files
- and even if they only shipped the relevant ones, there would be
conflict on those files they seem the more legitimate to ship.
