Ok, I'll compile and older gdb for arm and let you know.

Good point, I did assume it has, because in some cases armeabihf was used
to compile, but not in all cases, I'll check whether it is, otherwise I'd
have to recompile gdb without hf.
I'll get the info and let you know, thanks for helping out!
