  The problem isn't gdb - it's the kernel.  The R4x00 cpu caches are
the problem.  The way a program gets started and run under gdb results
in some cache-coherency problems that haven't been worked out yet.
I was finally able to get some brute-force cache flushing to work in
-current, but I haven't had the time to figure out a cleaner way to
do it.
