The cause is very prosaic :-))
gcc 3.2.xx requires gdb> 5.2. I want to work with mpc860-bdm in linux, which 
was developed for 5.0. My attempts to patch 5.2 failed - too many structural 
changes where done to 5.2 and my knowledge of gdb is zero.

BTW, my previous question you commented about the debug info is the 
illustration to what I said above - gdb 5.0 does not recognize the DWARF info 
produced by gcc 3.2. And last objdump is too unable to see it - this is the 
answer I found in Internet.
