Hi Yao,

I am seeing:

  gdb compile failed, .../info-os.c:51:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

with clang-6.0.  Once I fix it, the test passes for me.

Instead of passing -lpthread directly, it would probably be better to pass the
"pthreads" option, like this:


build_executable_from_specs eventually converts that into a call to gdb_compile_pthreads,
which then chooses the right linker flag based on the platform.  So it's a bit more portable.

Simon
