Hello John, > Did you get older versions of GDB to work but not the 6.8?
For the server (where the problem _seems_ to lie), I just have gdbserver 6.8 built from sources and that's all I've ever tried. > but I've used old GDB versions a small amount Any idea what version? If you have an executable that you could zip up and send me I'd like to try it. > With regards to using the eabi gdb with the EDK, my understanding (not an > expert) is that the Linux ABI is not the same as EABI I've been talked out of using this in any case. I've plenty of [--host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=powerpc-linux] versions of gdb (client) around and they all behave identically.

I'm copying Brian as he has used it more than myself. Did you get older versions of GDB to work but not the 6.8? Did you build GDB yourself or using prebuilt? With regards to using the eabi gdb with the EDK, my understanding (not an expert) is that the Linux ABI is not the same as EABI such that you might get some things to work but not all. Sorry for the fuzzy answer there.
