The stock m68k-palmos-gdb cannot debug multi section palm apps.
This is also written in the documentation:
http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/doc/prc-tools_5.html last sentence:
        At present, GDB won't work well with applications with multiple code 
        resources.

Have a look at my patches which make multi section debugging possible for both
Windows and Linux prc-tools:

Many people have been using them for several years now.
