arm-elf message

[Joel Sherrill <joel dot sherrill at OARcorp dot com>]

I am using arm-rtems which is arm-elf aliased to arm-rtems for
both binutils and gdb.  When I try to load the resulting 
executable in the simulator in gdb, I get an error message
I assume is from the BFD.  What does this message mean
and more importantly what is broken?

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--target=arm-rtems"...
Dwarf Error: bad offset (0xb91c0) in compilation unit header (offset 0x0
+ 6).

I have forced some extra data in my .bss section and it turns out that
0xb91c0 is the _end of the entire program image.  


  5 .bss          00091a50  00027770  00027770  0001f7d0  2**4
                  ALLOC

000b91c0 B _end

Thanks for any advice.
