We also have problems with gdb 6.8 on the ARM. Or in other words, it
just plain does not work. I will now follow your advice and switch to
version 6.7.1. If that actually helps, then buildroot should probably
select that version when building for an ARM target (similar as what is
done currently for AVR32).
