gdb-5.3: how to avoid soft breakpoints?

[Heiko Panther]

I have an embedded target running gdb stub on an openrisc processor 
(www.opencores.org). The application is running from ROM, so I cannot 
set soft breakpoints. I worked the gdb stub so it will ERR Z0 packets, 
and use Z[123] packets. This works perfectly well with hbreak. break 
will attempt to set a soft breakpoint and fail. So do "next" and 
"finish" when they try to set a breakpoint.

Is there any way around that? Can I have gdb totally avoid soft breakpoints?
