That's not Debian's GDB, I'm pretty sure. We would never have built it with --host=ppc-unknown-linux-gnu (it's powerpc-*) or with --target=powerpc-elf (the reason Run doesn't work). As suggested, use the one in unstable. Or even testing. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
