Currently in AIX when we follow a child or do not dtach the child during multi-process debugging we get, (gdb) set detach-on-fork off (gdb) r Starting program: /gdb_tests/multi-thread-fork [New inferior 2 (process 32965026)] target.c:1194: internal-error: Attempt to push unshareable target: native. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. ----- Backtrace ----- 0x10092c69b gdb_internal_backtrace_1 /home/binutils-gdb/gdb/bt-utils.c:122 0x10092c7bf _Z22gdb_internal_backtracev /home/binutils-gdb/gdb/bt-utils.c:175 0x10004fdef internal_vproblem /home/binutils-gdb/gdb/utils.c:424 0x100050307 _Z15internal_verrorPKciS0_Pc /home/binutils-gdb/gdb/utils.c:504 The reason being AIX missed out on making the rs6000_nat_target sharable for the child. So align AIX native fork handling with Linux by marking rs6000_nat_target shareable. This avoids internal errors during fork (), during detach-on-fork off and follow-fork-mode child.
