No, at gdb command prompt I can continue debugging.

But eclipse stops dead in its tracks and wont jump to source when I step or
breakpoint and wont display registers or any other target info.

I thought that too, until I looked a bit closer...
The first location retrieved is x50001e00 and then it continues up towards
the x50002000 boundary.

However my stack resides at x50000000 to x50001e00 (in a block of memory
that goes up to x50001f00)

And this snip appears in the log before any errors are encountered...

set $sp = &stack_end
m68k-elf-sprite: Got packet: 'Pf=50001e00'
m68k-elf-sprite: Write register 15 = 0x50001e00
m68k-elf-sprite: Sent response: 'OK'

-----------------
Enabling verbose console in eclipse highlights the following. Which I
presume are being sent to the target after I step.

21-stack-info-depth
Cannot access memory at address 0x50002000

22-data-list-changed-registers
Cannot access memory at address 0x50002000
22^done,changed-registers=["0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11"
,"12","13","14","15","16","17"]

-------------------------
And entering "where" into gdb results in the following. Its worth noting
that Game() is my start address and was jumped to at startup.

The "run commands" section in eclipse...

set $sp = &stack_end
set $pc = Game
continue
