Works Like a charm....The memory at that place was indeed not allocated.
Thanks for your help.

To clarify this a bit: that means "set a breakpoint in an ARM gdb attached
to qemu's gdb-stub interface". That gdb will see the view of the guest
CPU, whereas connecting an x86 gdb directly to qemu you're looking at
qemu's internal data structures, which can be more confusing.
