It is critical that GDB be able to find your target's dynamic linker
and load its symbols.  To do this, you normally use
``set solib-absolute-prefix'' to tell gdb where to find the sys-root
for the target's libraries.  If you're not doing this, then perhaps
that's your problem?

It is also important for the libraries in the sys-root location on
the host to be exactly the same as those found on the target.  All
kinds of strange things can happen if this is not the case.
