Is there any way you could send me a static linked binary? I am unable
to build gdb in linux-sh itself, and am having trouble with the cross
compiled version that I built (using a slightly modified version of kaz
Kojima's patch--I have not yet tried yours, Denis):

[@(none) bin]# ./gdbtest
running foo...
foo:0
foo:1
foo:2
foo:3
foo:4
foo:5
foo:6
foo:7
foo:8
foo:9
running bar...
bar:10
bar:9
bar:8
bar:7
bar:6
bar:5
bar:4
bar:3
bar:2
bar:1
exiting...
[@(none) bin]# ./gdb gdbtest

(gdb) break bar
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004aa: file foo.c, line 31.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /bin/gdbtest 
---

my serial console freezes there, no output from gdbtest is displayed,
and the breakpoint is never triggered. However I can still CTRL-Z gdb
and kill it... if I run "gdb gdbtest" again it does the same thing,
except gdb takes over the console and I am unable to return to the
busybox shell--the only way out is a system reset.

gdbtest is built -Wall -g -O0

I am using GDB 5.0 with glibc2.1.3, kernel 2.4.0, all built using the
old toolchain. GDB is compiled against libtermcap.so.2 which I built
from the sources in the HardHat-alike SH4 port at
http://linuxsh.sourceforge.net/docs/shrpm.php3

Unless you guys have seen this problem before and know of a fix, I'm
going to go ahead and try the new toolchain and GDB patch that Denis
supplied, and see how that works out. I have a hunch GDB 5.0 wants a
newer glibc/binutils.

Thanks again,

Bryan
