For example, use the alias, sun4, as a host argument, or as the value for target in a --target=target option.
The equivalent full name is ‘sparc-sun-sunos4’.
The configure
script accompanying GDB does not provide any query facility to list all
supported host and target names or aliases. configure
calls the Bourne shell script, config.sub,
to map abbreviations to full names; you can read the script, if you wish,
or you can use it to test your guesses on abbreviations, as in the following
example. config.sub
is in the GDB source directory.
% sh config.sub sun4
sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1
% sh config.sub sun3
m68k-sun-sunos4.1.1
% sh config.sub decstation
mips-dec-ultrix4.2
% sh config.sub hp300bsd
m68k-hp-bsd
% sh config.sub i386v
i386-unknown-sysv
% sh config.sub i786v
Invalid configuration ‘i786v’: machine ‘i786v’ not recognized
