Remote Debugging on IXDP425

I'm trying to get remote debugging using gdbserver on an IXDP425 target
board. I've built a cross gdb-6.0 that executes on an i386 with the target
set to arm-unknown-linux-gnu. The 'arm-unknown-linux-gnu-gdb' on my
development machine does connect and talk to the gdbserver running on the
target. I can start the program from gdb but breakpoints that I set don't
break the program. I turned on remote debugging (set debug remote 1) and
get the following:

(gdb) b main
Sending packet: $m87a0,1#ca...Ack
Packet received: e5
Sending packet: $m87a0,1#ca...Ack
Packet received: e5
Breakpoint 1 at 0x87a0
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Sending packet: $Z0,8ec0,1#43...Ack
Packet received:
Packet Z0 (software-breakpoint) is NOT supported
Sending packet: $m8ec0,1#fa...Ack
Packet received: 00
Sending packet: $X8ec0,0:#1e...Ack
Packet received:
binary downloading NOT suppported by target
Sending packet: $M8ec0,1:cc#da...Ack
Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $m87a0,1#ca...Ack
Packet received: e5
Sending packet: $M87a0,1:cc#aa...Ack
Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Hc0#db...Ack
Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $c#63...Ack

So the software-breakpoint NOT supported would seem to be my problem. Any
information about how I fix this?

Thanks...
