I am able to compiler successfully gdb-6.7.1.
And it works well for 64 bit executables generated by gcc

But it is giving error for 64 bit executables generated by xlc.

(gdb) r

What might be the reason and solution , if some body knows.

How to make my gdb able to debug xlc generated executables?
