RE: arm gdbserver and shared object function resolution

["Kevin \"Squail\" Endres" <kevine at wildseed dot com>]

note: I can now load the symbols from the file on the host (and thus resolve
the function to an address and set a breakpoint). However - if i target the
remote target after setting the breakpoint i get the following error:

warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint. is the issue
with the current cross target gdb or is it with gdbserver?

Because GDB 5.1.1 doesn't support remote debugging of shared libraries
on ARM.  Please try a current snapshot instead.
