Re: [lkcd-devel] problem with lkcdutils-4.2 on ia64 mahine

IA64 generates debug information (Kerntypes) in dwarf2 format and NOT 
stabs format. 
The lkcdutils doesn't understand the dwarf2 format.  I am working on 
dwarf2 support on
lkcdutils, and have posted an initial patch earlier on this list which 
works on ia-32. 
But for IA64, there might be some issues which I am trying to work out.
Will keep this updated if there is any progress.  In any case, you can 
just try applying
my earlier patch and let me know.
