For what its worth, we are doing exactly this (using bfd from binutils with gdb). It took some minor hacking to account for the fact the gdb expects to be using approximately bfd 2.9.2. I expect to remove them after I import binutils 2.9.2 which should happen not too long after its released, depending on workload. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
