If you just load it up in GDB (even though not downloading) does that work?
Can you list functions and source files? By the looks of it, that shouldn't
work, but I want to check :).
It's possible that the eCos linker script you are using (you don't say
what) doesn't mention the stabs sections, perhaps because it is normally
expecting dwarf debug. Check that out.
