help please with rdbg example program

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hi,

in short, you seem to have the wrong debugger. AFAIK the rdbg 
version have RTEMS in capital letters like "i386-RTEMS-gdb". 

I will send you a working copy of the program as personal mail, if 
you like you can try it out.

BTW: are there any versions of rdbg-ready gdbs available at OAR?

wkr,
	Thomas.
