sigh.. no testsuite. :(

Just to be clear, the simulator works when I invoke it inside
gdb. Just not via run. I am guessing some glue isn't right.

I will build an lm32-elf toolset and throw that together. I am travelling
next week so it may be slow to happen since I am no expert at lm32
assembly language. But a hello world shouldn't be a problem.

I tried a couple of older gdb's I had laying around. They behaved the
same. Not sure how far I would have to go back.
