arm-none-eabi-gdb Exception caught while booting Guile.

I am using arm-none-eabi-gdb. When I'm executing arm-none-eabi-gdb, it loges out an error:

Exception caught while booting Guile.
Error in function "make_objcode_from_file":
bad header on object file: "\x7fELF\x02\x01\x01ÿ\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"

Because of it interface for the gdb GUD in emacs doesn't work correctly.
I found out that it is happening because of arm-none-eabi-gdb depends on gdb-common and guile2.0. And gdb-common depends on guile 2.2.6-2...

Versions of packages:

gdb-common 10.1-2
arm-none-eabi-gdb 10.1-1
guile2.0 2.0.14-4
guile 2.2.6-2

'guile2.0' required by arm-none-eabi-gdb
'gdb-common' required by arm-none-eabi-gdb

'guile' required by gdb
'guile' required by gdb-common
'guile' required by make

Re: arm-none-eabi-gdb Exception caught while booting Guile.

arm-none-eabi-gdb changed from guile2.0 to guile in https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-c … d866203e9c which has not been released.
If you rebuild the trunk version of arm-none-eabi-gdb that includes that commit does it resolve the issue?

I've built the trunk version and everything is fine!

Re: arm-none-eabi-gdb Exception caught while booting Guile.

Resister that guide covers it.  Trunk means the trunk directory from the git checkout.  Either use asp to perform the git checkout or:

git clone git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git --single-branch --branch "packages/arm-none-eabi-gdb"
cd community/trunk

Then build the package.
