Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 116.

[kas turi <inox_kas@yahoo.com>]

Hi
  I am trying to debug loadable modules on 8260 board.
I am using GDB to debug the module. The loadable
module say x.o has two object files a.o and b.o. x.o
is generated as follows:

powerpc-linux-ld -r -o x.o a.o b.o

I run the linux on the target. On the host machine I
run GDB and connect to the target. In the target I
load the loadable module using insmod utility:

insmod -m x.o

insmod now prints the starting text addr, bss addr,
rodata sections and it starts running my module. Now
from the gdb I try to load x.o using following command

add-symbol-file x.o <text-addr> -s <rodata> -s<bss>.

When I run the above command in GDB I get the
following error:
Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 116. 

Any idea what could be the problem. I am using the
latest GDB 5.2.1. Thanks in advance
