Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 1

[Stephane Lambert <stephane dot lambert at cortus dot com>]

Hello all,
I'm porting uclinux on the Cortus Aps3 Processor. Now I've compiled 
correcty with the -g compilation option to obtain debugging 
information.  However, when I run the vmlinux executable under GDB, it 
generates a DWARF error (see below). I've of course add the DWARF2 
section in vmlinux.lds.S. After investigations, it seems that it is the 
Debug_info of the executable which is corrupted.
I need to fix this error because actually I can't load the vmlinux 
symbols table in GDB, so I can't set breakpoints or watchpoints.
How can I fix this error ?
Thanks in advance.

Stephane Lambert
