In some cases which seem to depend on how toolchain headers
got installed or configured we may face well-known by now failure
fixed in upstream with [1]:

Applied to master, thanks. I see this patch is in gdb 8.2, so surely
gdb 8.2 is not affected. What about previous gdb releases ?

Best regards,

In OpenEmbedded they used to apply that patch for 8.1.x GDB unconditionally [1]
which means we may want to have it in "package/gdb/8.0.1" and "package/gdb/8.1.1"
but I didn't add it there since I had no way to reproduce this failure as
compared to ARC. If you want I may still apply it to mentioned GDB versions in
Buildroot.

Under what exact situations is this build failure happening ?

Thanks,

That's a good question.
As I wrote in my commit message it has to do with some specifics of toolchain headers
configuration. But I'm not really sure what triggers this.

I mean I spent quite some time looking at differences between very similar build trees
in one of which this issue happens but not in another but didn't get to any
conclusion.

And given there's an upstream fix for that issue I didn't want to invest more time into
this investigation, sorry.

Do you have a defconfig that fails to build ? Or is it related to the
build machine environment ?

I have one setup where this problem happens.

If I rebuild everything from scratch with the same defconfig in the next folder
I cannot reproduce this issue - maybe because I made extra changes compared to
"problematic" defconfig.

+Subject: [PATCH] gdb: Fix ia64 defining TRAP_HWBKPT before including
+ gdb_wait.h
+
+On ia64, gdb_wait.h eventually includes siginfo-consts-arch.h, which
+contains an enum with TRAP_HWBKPT, along with a #define. Thus we cannot
+define TRAP_HWBKPT to 4 beforehand, and so gdb_wait.h must be included
+earlier; include it from linux-ptrace.h so it can never come afterwards.
+
+gdb/ChangeLog:
+
+	* nat/linux-ptrace.c: Remove unnecessary reinclusion of
+	gdb_ptrace.h, and move including gdb_wait.h ...
+	* nat/linux-ptrace.h: ... to here.
