Hi All.

(Sorry had to write to this list, as the subscription to
gdb@sourcewave.org seemingly went successful, but never got the
confirmation email. Even sending emails get bounced).


I have been trying to analyze a core, but unable to receive the
complete backtrace due to following error :

#######################################
#0  0x0088ad6c in __libc_signal_restore_set (set=0xf48f2a78) at
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nptl-signals.h:79
79 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nptl-signals.h: No such file or directory.
#######################################


Following is the (incomplete) backtrace :

#######################################
[Current thread is 1 (LWP 7491)]
(gdb) bt

Since GDB is able to find raise.c, I did a full base-machine search
for it, via :

#######################################
find / -name raise.c 2> /dev/null
#######################################

but could not find raise.c either on the base-machine filesystem.


So, following are my queries :

1.
Where are raise.c, nptl-signals.h etc. supposed to reside?

2.
How can we bring back the missing nptl-signals.h file?


Will be grateful for pointers.


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
