Hi,

I'm using gdb to debug a program on a remote target via IP; the symbol
tables I have are not in a gdb-friendly format.

I have the output of the platform specific nm run against the binary;
is there any way I can teach gdb about the data from nm (at least the
entry addresses to my functions, location of some global variables?).

Thanks,
