That's true, the GDB can't connect to target stubs until they are initialized 
with the first call to breakpoint(). I must admit, I haven't looked at the 
eCos stub code yet, but at least the ones I patched and use for the AVR debug 
work that way. The first thing to do there in program is call breakpoint() or 
TRAP(),  then You can use continue in GDB.
