Hi

I am using arm-elf-gdb version GNU gdb 5.3 .

I am trying to debug u-boot using arm-elf-gdb. I have been
succesfully using this gdb to a great extent. However, when i try my
vanilla u-boot image with debug, i get a "segfault".

$ arm-elf-gdb  u-boot

(gdb) target remote 206.44.17.238:2001
Remote debugging using 206.44.17.238:2001
Segmentation fault

Could it be
something wrong with the binary itslef. If so, any hints as to what
could be wrong?

Thanks,
Alfred.
