I've just added the .note.ABI-tag section to uClibc's crt0.o
and crt1.o for arm, which lets gdb 5.3 now behave itself when
debugging uClibc binaries on arm.  I just tried it, and it
worked as expected -- no more SIGILLs...

Daniel -- is arm the only architecture for which the
.note.ABI-tag section is required for proper gdb behavior?
