I checked with the tools guys here and they don't yet do !MMU testing,
although I think it's on the list.

Understood. Paul - would you please be able to confirm that:

(a) GDB is currently broken on uclinux? (it certainly looks that way)

If you don't have an environment set up, I wonder if there's somebody else
we can poke who's playing with this stuff.
