--- Comment #3 from Dietmar May <dcmay at copper dot net> ---
This is a bootloader (or more precisely, it is a fragment from a functioning
bare-metal bootloader). The file contains ONLY executable code; after all,
.section .rom_core_0 contains a series of assembler instructions.

It cannot be properly debugged with GDB because SOMETHING is missing. Clearly
GAS is emitting code that doesn't have something that GDB needs to be there.
Otherwise, GDB would function properly - unless it's a bug in GDB - which is
still in binutils.

If the GAS team is confident that the patch did not inadvertantly cause GAS to
fail to emit valid debugging information in some cases, then please switch the
component to GDB; but don't close a bug when something isn't working right.
