Eli's right here.  The warning would be to strong.

internal-error and internal-warning refer to GDB detecting an errenous 
internal state.  Error for non-recoverable, warning for recoverable.

Unless some action is taken, the long term prognosis doesn't look good. 
  However, short term, GDB could just as easily die due to a SIGSEG.

Yep.  I get to ``fix'' the problem.

I just checked in a change to MAINTAINERS file so that it recommends 
hppa-elf as the target to try building.  This new target doesn't include 
som support (unlike hppa natives) and so makes the multi-arch task just 
that bit more feasible :-)

enjoy,
Andrew
