Can't talk to Angel debug monitor from arm-elf-gdb

[Dave Cleal]

(talking to myself)

Eventually got around this by re-flashing to replace Angel with
the Redboot monitor. arm-elf-gdb talks to that just fine as a remote
target.

I do have a remaining problem with my toolchain, which is that
ideally, I'd like to develop in Eclipse. Eclipse won't interact nicely
with arm-elf-gdb running a remote target. I'm not sure whether this is
Eclipse sending the wrong commands, or arm-elf-gdb responding weirdly.
Just before I start messing with Eclipse, has anyone got experience of
this kind of set up (eclipse -> arm-elf-gdb -> remote target)?
