Every platform defines its own layout for note sections. There's no one "powerpc-eabi" operating system to define notes, and there are no standard notes. So since GDB doesn't know what to do with notes on this platform, it doesn't support core files. You can keep using a powerpc-linux GDB, or patch your powerpc-eabi GDB to work with any note format you choose. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
