Debug symbols are screwed for a "freestanding" app

This might be a binutils problem, or it could be a gcc problem.  (Ie
it could be generating debug information with the wrong offsets).

Please could you file a bug report here:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi

If you can include the assembler source file created by gcc, 
the object file created by the assembler and the foo.elf binary
file as well, that would be a big help.

Binutils 2.30 has just been released, and might possibly contain a
fix for the problem.
