debugedit testsuite on hurd-amd64 shows:
gdb: warning: A handler for the OS ABI "GNU/Hurd" is not built into this configuration of GDB.  Attempting to continue with the default i386 settings.

Hey Mark,

Strange, this test passed with the same GDB version before:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=debugedit&arch=hurd-amd64&ver=1%3A5.2-2&stamp=1756548946&raw=0

I triggered a rebuild, let's see if it makes any difference.

Thanks,

Hi Sergio,

Yes, it passes because it is ignoring the errors.
But the warning/error is also in that build log.

Cheers,

Mark

Ah, right.

Well, this is still strange.  GDB was properly configured:

Yep, it is.

I did some debugging and filed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33377.  I couldn't reach
the bottom of the problem yet because debugging on Hurd is much slower,
but hopefully we'll have a fix soon.  I'm taking the liberty to reassign
this bug back to GDB.

Thanks,
