           Summary: Gcc ELF file format NOT compatible with AXD *.axf
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: debug
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: wolfgang.betz@tin.it
                CC: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org

Any executable file built from objects compiled
with "-gdwarf-2" by arm-linux-gcc 3.2 crashes the ARM Ltd.
debugger AXD when trying to load them.  The same
files compiled with arm-linux-gcc 2.95.5 work perfectly.

The AXD debugger crashes with the uninteligible
error message ("DBE Warning 00255: WIN32 exception code 0xc0000005 was caught 
in dbess_image\dbt_image.cpp:160";
even if the message says it is a warning, the debugger
becomes unusable and must be closed and restarted).

Release:
3.2

Environment:
Cross-compiler configured for --target=arm-linux,
hosted on i686-pc-cygwin.  However, it does not seem
likely that the host may have any influence.

How-To-Repeat:
Compile any file with "-gdwarf-2" option using arm-linux-gcc
3.2 and try to load it with ARM Ltd. AXD debugger.

Ciao Wolfgang

Why do you believe that this is a bug in GCC, rather than a bug in
ARM's debugger?

gcc developers do not have access to the commercial AXD product.  If you think
there is a bug in gcc you need to show exactly what it is doing that is
incorrect (by the dwarf2 standard).

To the best of my knowledge ARM make no claims that AXD will eat debugging
information from any compiler other than their own.

No feedback in 3 months (T-13 days but AXD does not say they will eat anyother 
debuging output from another close).
