How do I delete it/prevent it from being set? Is this a configure
time setting?
It may help to use a powerpc-elf debugger instead.
I tried powerpc-elf GDB, and it'll work (I see that I cannot set a
breakpoint in the application - but that seems to be a problem with
the application itself).

I do have one question about powerpc-linux-gnu GDB; I see that the breakpoint
is inserted inspite of:
(gdb) show stop-on-solib-events
Stopping for shared library events is 0.

From breakpoint.h:
/* Some dynamic linkers (HP, maybe Solaris) can arrange for special
code in the inferior to run when significant events occur in the
dynamic linker (for example a library is loaded or unloaded).
By placing a breakpoint in this magic code GDB will get control
when these significant events occur. GDB can then re-examine
the dynamic linker's data structures to discover any newly loaded
dynamic libraries. */
bp_shlib_event,

I would assume that if stop-on-solib-events is 0, then it ought not to set
the -1 breakpoint. Please could you help understanding this part.
Thank you,
