[arm-gnu] arm-2008q3's GDB won't load symbols from my binary

[Marc Oscar Singer <elf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Even though /bin/file believes that my linked executable is unstripped, 
and even though I can see the symbols in GDB with a 'p' command, it 
won't recognize the for the 'l' or 'b' commands.

I am linking with the -g switch and I've been able to debug in the past 
with an older version of GDB I've built from sources.

The binary is posted to <http://filebin.ca/zhuuar/apex>.

Any help you can offer will be appreciated.
