Subject: Add a 'set program-interpreter' command.
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5523045f81c619c1e586377f84498f3c97aa94e5;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

Add a 'set program-interpreter' command.

This is a bit of a hack, but it allows you to override the initial
path to the runtime linker instead of having GDB always trust the
contents of .interp.  This is useful for running purecap binaries
under a hybrid world or vice versa via 'run'.
