What is "my_prog"? Is this your debug executable? If so, it appears that
gdb is attempting to run it natively. What host are you on?

Can you show me a gdb session (command line) of what you're doing (the
part that works)? Any messages in the debug window? (Open console, type
"tk ManagedWin::open DebugWin" to open.)

Are you using a stub -- err, debug agent -- or gdbserver. I wasn't aware
that gdbserver worked on anything other than native targets. Even if it
did, it would almost certainly require a download.
