 Just what I was looking for except that the linux support in 
 low-linux.c is x86 specific :(  (My target is PowerPC)

 Also, when I compiled it on my x86 Linux machine it worked only when
 debugging statically linked executables. When debugging a 
 dynamically linked executable I get the following when I call
 printf and the executable tries to load libc.so:

    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
    0x40005832 in ?? () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2

 Any ideas on this problem ??? My embedded target depends on
 shared libraries to reduce storage requirements.  


Thanks,
  Stuart
