[Bug gdb/11743] New: gdb --pid <pid> does not find file on AIX

["rick dot stein at aciworldwide dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

The above command does not work on AIX

--- Test Source ---

~/gdb/test
imts1-AIX(1):steinr> cat take5.c
#define ONE_MINUTE 60
main()
{
int minutes = 5;

while(minutes--)
  sleep(ONE_MINUTE);
}

~/gdb/test
imts1-AIX(1):steinr> cat maketake5
cc -go take5 take5.c

The above happens on AIX 5.2 and AIX 5.3

I have ported support for COBOL from gdb-5.3 to gdb-6.8.  This port does not 
work on gdb-7.1, so I need the above to work on gdb-6.8.  The above tests were 
run with an unmodified, freshly compiled gdb-6.8.

--- Test results for gdb-6.8 on RedHat Linux ---
Note that this works fine on gdb-6.8 running on RedHat Linux
