Eli's right here. The warning would be to strong.
internal-error and internal-warning refer to GDB detecting an errenous
internal state. Error for non-recoverable, warning for recoverable.
Unless some action is taken, the long term prognosis doesn't look good.
However, short term, GDB could just as easily die due to a SIGSEG.

Yep. I get to ``fix'' the problem.
I just checked in a change to MAINTAINERS file so that it recommends
hppa-elf as the target to try building. This new target doesn't include
som support (unlike hppa natives) and so makes the multi-arch task just
that bit more feasible :-)
enjoy,
Andrew
