gdb problem on Solaris SPARC


Machine: sun4m
OS:      Solaris 2.6
cc:	 gcc 2.8.1
gdb:	 gdb 4.17 sparc-sun-solaris2.6

I'm having a problem using gdb on the above system. I compile a simple
hello.c with:

$ make gcc -g -DXCONF -ansi -c hello.c -o hello.o hello.c:  
In function `main':  
hello.c:6: warning: return type of `main' is not `int' 
gcc -o hello hello.o



Then run gdb:

$ gdb hello

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that.  Symbol format `elf32-sparc' unknown. 
No display number 0. 
Disabling display 0 to avoid infinite recursion.
(gdb) q



So apparently gdb isn't able to read the executable because it is in an
unrecognized format. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thanks...
