Thanx for the info. will look into the same
.
 but that still does not answer my question regarding
linux_look_up_symbols.. I was under the 
impression that looking up symbols was a file format  / debug format
specific thing and not an OS specific functionality and would like to
know the reason behind having a function like look_up_symbol in the
target_ops structure and seem to use it to initialize the thread
information in the implementation ?
