Arch Linux

Description:

arm-none-eabi-gdb throws the following error:

arm-none-eabi-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

...when using the integrated python. For example when the following code is in .gdbinit:

python
import os,subprocess,sys
# Execute a Python using the user's shell and pull out the sys.path (for site-packages)
paths = subprocess.check_output('python -c "import os,sys;print(os.linesep.join(sys.path).strip())"',shell=True).decode("utf-8").split()
# Extend GDB's Python's search path
sys.path.extend(paths)
end

Additional info:
arm-none-eabi-gdb needs to have the python version available against/with which it was compiled. Now that 3.9 is the most recent version in arch Linux, python integration stopped working in gdb. It needs to be recompiled against this newer major version.


* package version(s)
local/python 3.9.2-1
local/arm-none-eabi-gdb 10.1-2

* config and/or log files etc.
My .gdbinit:

set history save on
set history size 10000
set history filename ~/.gdb_history
set confirm off
set mi-async on
set mem inaccessible-by-default off
set disassemble-next-line on

python
import os,subprocess,sys
# Execute a Python using the user's shell and pull out the sys.path (for site-packages)
paths = subprocess.check_output('python -c "import os,sys;print(os.linesep.join(sys.path).strip())"',shell=True).decode("utf-8").split()
# Extend GDB's Python's search path
sys.path.extend(paths)
end

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Syu
pacman -S arm-none-eabi-gdb
