I have a non functional ia32 executable (which of course works well on a regular ia32 machine).

What are my options for debugging it ?

You can always run ia32 gdb.

Thanks Don,

I am reporting full success with gdb 5.0 (taken as is from ia32 suse 7.0), and I have been able to debug my problem.

I have had less success with strace which did not let the executable run (killed by SIGSGV), and I also got in the log file:
IA32 syscal #29 issued, may be we should implement it. (what call is it ?)

Jose-

syscall #29' is pause' which has been implemented, you're just running on an older version of the kernel that doesn't have it.

I curious about strace' failing, I haven't seen that before. Do you get any output from strace' at all and, if so, could you send me a copy?

Tnx.
