Hi,

I have a problem which is causing me some headaches during my porting exercise, I am currently porting u-boot from the ep8260 to our own hardware. I am lucky enough to have not one but four Abatron probes however my problem seems to lie with gdb.

I have compiled the u-boot code straight out of the box so to speak, so I haven't changed anything strange, however when I load gdb with the elf file I find that gdb cannot find the start.S file, it prompts the following:

$ ppc_82xx-gdb u-boot GNU gdb 5.2.1 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The strange thing is that the ppcstring.S routines and others seem fine, I was hoping someone else has seen the same problem? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
