Eclipse remote debugging arm-linux library - eclipse

I am running:
Eclipse 3.8.1 (Build id: deb build).
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in a VM and UbuntuMATE 16.04 LTS on target Raspberry Pi 3.
gdb-multiarch(architecture set to arm in .gdbinit) locally andgdbserver` on the target.
Cross compilation and remote deployment is successful. However, there appears to be some library issue when I run on the remote target. Output from gdb-multiarch below (superfluous text removed):
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.11-0ubuntu1) 7.11 Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software
Foundation, Inc. License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later

Program stopped. 0x76fd7a40 in ?? () from
/home/fred/raspberrypi/rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.23.so
Execution stops at main. However, it doesn't appear to stop due to a breakpoint. The stop appears to be the result of some library issue possibly and unresolved symbol (or something more serious) resulting in the ??.
I have set sysroot in the .gdbinit file to indicate where the shared libraries can be found. The StepIn, StepOut icons are hi-lighted in Eclipse, and I can read ARM registers if I press pause and see which core is being used to run the process (with process ID)!
After further resume & pause operations a segmentation fault occurs:
Program stopped. 0x76fe2e92 in ?? () from
/home/fred/raspberrypi/rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.23.so
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x76fd905e in ??
() from
/home/fred/raspberrypi/rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.23.so
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. The
program no longer exists.
Any ideas? (I am very much new to Linux as it probably shows.)
Thanks for the questions which have resulted in further exploration below:
In Eclipse I started GDB by selecting Debug Configuration and then choosing the remote configuration that I had set up.
The code is very simple, consisting of a stream operator to output some text and then a loop, however it is never reached. I think I have just managed to reproduce the issue from the command line. Incidentally I started the target going first. (Again superfluous text was removed for clarity.)
gdb-multiarch Hello_Raspberry_Pi
Reading symbols from Hello_Raspberry_Pi...done.
The target architecture is assumed to be arm
(gdb) target remote ubuntumate-pi
(gdb) target remote 192.168.0.12:2345
Remote debugging using 192.168.0.12:2345
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
GDB will be unable to debug shared library initialisers
and track explicitly loaded dynamic code.
0x76fd7a40 in ?? ()
(gdb) set architecture arm
The target architecture is assumed to be arm

warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.

(gdb)
The target side behaved as would be expected:
fred#UbuntuMATE-Pi:~/Hello_Raspberry_Pi$ gdbserver 192.168.0.7:2345 Hello_Raspberry_Pi
Process Hello_Raspberry_Pi created; pid = 17363
Listening on port 2345
Remote debugging from host 192.168.0.7
So perhaps Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function. is a big clue?
It would appear that I had defined Shared Libraries incorrectly. When I deleted this setting something closer to expected behaviour occurred. As shown below, however I there is still a warning that I would like to remove:
For help, type "help".
Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word".
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
GDB will be unable to debug shared library initialisers
and track explicitly loaded dynamic code.
0x76fd7a40 in ?? ()
Breakpoint 2, main () at ../src/Hello_Raspberry_Pi.cpp:18
18 cout << "I'm in the While loop and the value of variable i is: " << i << endl;
Breakpoint 1, main () at ../src/Hello_Raspberry_Pi.cpp:20
20 usleep(1000000); //wait for 1 seconds
So now Eclipse does breakpoint at main and permit stepping - finally!

I also faced problems similar to this, getting segmentation fault from ld.so. Did the following steps to fix it.
Install libc6-dbg package in both sysroot and target.
create a folder /lib/.debug in both sysroot and target.
copy /usr/lib/debug/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.23.so to /lib/.debug in both sysroot and target.

Suppress "program not found" errors in Eclipse CDT

Most of my team uses a .bat file to set paths and then run a build. The .bat file allows selection of multiple different compiler/target platforms, but all use some version of GCC/G++ or similar compiler.
I created an Eclipse project that simply uses the .bat file rather than re-inventing the wheel and tracking down all the paths needed for each build (which I'd need to update if anyone ever updated the .bat file anyway).
This works great for building, and I can even see compiler errors/warnings, but there are some extra errors always present:
Program "gcc" not found in PATH
Program "g++" not found in PATH
I've seen many questions about these and similar errors, but in those case the user couldn't build, and the solution was to install the tools and/or update their PATH or Eclipse environment settings. I don't want to do that; all the tools I need are installed, and the .bat file works just fine to set the PATH for building. Is there a way to suppress these errors, or have Eclipse not try to find the compiler executable, since the build succeeds anyway?
Edit: As suggested in the answer I've received so far, here is output on the console after putting a full path to a compiler in the global discovery settings, which isn't exactly my favorite solution even if it worked, but I'll probably deal with it. Regardless the errors don't go away:

And then a bunch of #defines
The command string I used in the discovery options for this output was C:\redacted\localapps\MinGW5\bin\${COMMAND}.exe ${FLAGS} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}".
Based on the information provided, these errors are coming from the scanner discovery part of CDT.
On my machine the full error looks like this:
Description Location Type
Program "g++" not found in PATH Preferences, C++/Build/Settings/Discovery, [CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings MinGW] options C/C++ Scanner Discovery Problem
Program "gcc" not found in PATH Preferences, C++/Build/Settings/Discovery, [CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings MinGW] options C/C++ Scanner Discovery Problem
Or as a screenshot
What is going on here is Eclipse CDT is (attempting to) launch GCC and G++ to find out what the global settings are for things like include paths, etc.
To fix the problem, go to the Location specified in the error message and adjust the scanner settings. Here is the matching setting to go with the specific error I received.
Your error might be in the project or in the global settings.
To update the MinGW setting, you can provide the path to a batch file that looks like GCC/G++ but sets up your environment correctly first, or you can point directly at the GCC that Eclipse CDT did not find on its own.
For example you can have:
D:\path\to\my\compilers\${COMMAND}.exe ${FLAGS} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}"
As the setting instead of the default.
To aid the debugging, check the Allocate console in the Console View to see exactly what is being run and what output is being generated.
And here is what you might see when it does not work. Hopefully the error messages in the console are sufficient to resolve the problem on your machine.
21:12:54 **** Running scanner discovery: CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings MinGW ****

Here is a screenshot to match:
If it does work, you should see lots of #defines and the like showing the global state of your compiler.

Is Eclipse Mars CDT support C++11 thread?

I have the following setup:
Eclipse Mars 4.5 (Build id:20150621-1200)
MinGW 201310 with g++ 4.8.1
Windows 10
I followed few post to add std=c++11 in Project property and make sure __cplusplus is 201103L. Here is the result:
I can see that std::map compile and run ok.
If I #include , there is no syntax error. But the declaration of thread in main() shows error "Type thread could not be resolved". Then I open up thread header file located in c:/MinGW/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/include/c++/thread, it seems that the whole class is dimmed due to that _GLIBCXX_HAS_GTHREADS is undefined. If I manually define it in the path and symbols, then the thread class is fully defined. But there comes more errors in the thread itself. Did I missed something? Or if the C++11 thread isn't ready on eclipse+MinGW? Thank you!
To get support for std::thread, you will want a MinGW build equipped with posix threading model support.
I'm not sure if there's a "classic" MinGW build with that feature,
but it's available with MinGW-w64.
You can get a MinGW-w64 installation in a number of ways, but the installer under the "Mingw-builds" link should be sufficient to get you started (and will let you pick which release GCC you want).

Unknown Eclipse Errors using gfortran, Cygwin

Using Windows 7 64 bit. I've followed these instructions for installing Eclipse for Parallel Application Developers and Cygwin, the latter because I want gfortran to compile Fortran code. At 18:20 in the linked tutorial he compiles in Eclipse with no errors, but I get the following 2 errors (Project is called "example"):
Description Resource Path Location Type
make: *** [example] Error 1 example C/C++ Problem
recipe for target 'example' failed makefile /example/Debug line 29 C/C++ Problem
My code (main.f90, under project "example") is simply
program main
print*, "hello world"
end program main
I've also tried compiling through the terminal, but get the following:
>>gfortran main.f90
gfortran: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but cyglto_plugin.dll not found
compilation terminated
Any help is appreciated!
The tutorial, you linked, is 2 years old...
As far as I see from the content of the packages available from http://www.cygwin.com/packages/, you have to install gcc-fortran instead of gcc4-fortran, because the latter one is labeled as obsolete.
The library cyglto_plugin.dll, which is used for Link-Time-Optimization, can be found in the package gcc-core and should be installed as a dependency. You could try to disable this library by using -fno-use-linker-plugin, but this will disable some optimization.

Raspberry PI cross compilation linking error - unknown symbol _dl_hwcap

I have successfully set up a cross-complation environment for my RPI under 64 Bit ubuntu. I can compile and run a personal project using gstreamer just fine.
Due to performance-issues with gstreamer, I want to work on a fork of omxplayer. I adapted it to my environment, and compilation of ffmpeg and omxplayer themselves work just fine.
However, linking an actual executable (ffmpeg, or omxplayer.bin) yields a linking error I have been unable to resolve.
You find the full output of the last failing linking-step with verbose flags here:
https://gist.github.com/deets/3bba7c94017405d28f81
The error message is
ffmpeg_compiled/usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so: undefined reference to `_dl_hwcap'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The missing symbol to me suggests something with dynamic loading. Maybe the libc or libdl are botched? But how come these are working just fine if compiling another project?
Found the culprit. When setting up the crosscompilation-environment, make sure your copy of the RPI's libraries are correct. I had unresolved symbolic library links that needed fixing in my rsync'ed copy of the RPI's file-system.

Error Mapping Shared Libraries with Eclipse CDT and GDB

I'm trying to debug a program using a Ubuntu 12.04 host and an ARM client with Eclipse Kepler, CDT, and GDB. The host is running GDB 7.4 and the client 7.0.1.
In my .gdbinit file I set sysroot /usr/local/arm-none-gnueabi/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/
However, when I try to debug I get the following error:
Warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers
and track explicitly loaded dynamic code.
The target endianness is set automatically (currently little endian)
Error while mapping shared library sections:
/usr//lib/libstdc++.so.6: No such file or directory.
Error while mapping shared library sections:
/lib/libm.so.6: No such file or directory.
Warning: .dynamic section for "/usr/local/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib/libgcc_s.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
Error while mapping shared library sections:
/lib/libc.so.6: No such file or directyory.
Error while mapping shared library sections:
/lib/ld-linux.so.3: No such file or directory.
I've searched this problem to death and can't seem to resolve it. Any answers would be most appreciated!
