I take it you are trying to build a cross GDB for ARM Linux. The compiler is
set up to generate little endian ARM code for ARM Linux.

I think the answer in this case is you can't. There is no simulator for ARM
Linux in the GDB sources AFAIK. I've never heard of anyone doing this.
I'm sure a cross GDB for ARM Linux will have to use a gdbserver running on the
target machine, and debug over the serial or ethernet ports. I've never done
this, so I don't know if it works. I made some changes to GDB this week for
this. Phil, did you have any luck?

GDB 4.18 doesn't have support for ARM Linux. The latest GDB snapshots do
contain support for ARM Linux, as does the CVS tree. You need a snapshot dated
later than April 5, 2000 to do what you want to do, or check out the source from
CVS. I checked in a fix to allow a cross debugger for ARM Linux to build on
Wednesday. I'm going to check in some Makefile dependency changes today for the
same problem, so I recommend checking out a tree from CVS.
