Stopped due to shared library event

Stopped due to shared library event

[Roman.Rycerz]

Hi...

I am debugging a embedded program and after i do a stepi   i get a "stopped
due to shared library event"

I am not sure what this means.... the embedded code does not use shared
libraries...  is this a problem with my target
or with gdb ???

any help or suggestions will be warmly recieved


Thanks

here is a snipet of the console output

(gdb) stepi

What version of GDB are you using?  How did you configure and build it?

This looks to me as if GDB believes there is a dynamic linker in your
program with its event-reporting function at 0x3fffa310.  If you're
using a properly configured GDB, I'm not sure why it would think that.
