Re: -symbol gdb option
Pascal:
Yea, you don't want to do that. :^)
Strike that line from your linker command file entirely. Use objdump
(probably m68k-elf-objdump or m68k-coff-objdump in your case) to
translate the linker's default output to srec. Load the default
output into gdb, load the srec file into your chip burner.
HTH,
