Hi!

I'm trying to make eCos run in the demo version of the Trace32 debugger,
as found on Lauterbach's home page
( http://www.lauterbach.de/simarm.exe )...
When I load a generated ELF it says:
  loading ELF/DWARF
  WARNING: possible compiler bug near offset 76255. in file
C:\eCosTools\MyTest\hello.elf (use DUMP)
  WARNING: possible compiler bug near offset 77253. in file
C:\eCosTools\MyTest\hello.elf (use DUMP)
  error: entry near offset 77392. in file C:\eCosTools\MyTest\hello.elf
(use DUMP)

The actual code seems to be loaded OK, but there are no symbols at all.
The mentioned offsets in the file are somewhere in the middle of the
DWARF2 segment.
After contact with Lauterbach, they claim that GCC generates broken
debug information, and this whas not the first time they've seen this. A
direct quote from the response is
"The file "hello" has a wrong abbreviation table (wrong DWARF2 debug
info)."

Now, how do I fix this? Is it perhaps already fixed by someone, or is it
beeing fixed? If not, where can I find enough information on DWARF2 so
that I can spot the errors? Also, what files in GCC contains potential
causes of the error (some are quite obvious, as their names contains
"dwarf", but any others)?
