[cfarm-users] gcc230: Unable to use GDB on 64-bit mips executable

This doesn't seem to be possible. Debian doesn't provide mips64 packages 
for big-endian[!] mips. I apologize for the distraction. On related 
note, they seem to have removed big-endian mips from their dist mirrors 
altogether, one has to pull them from archive.debian.org.

The point is that gdb with multiarch allows you to remotely debug 
multiple "alien" architectures and it should handle multiple ABIs on the 
same machine. If the package doesn't work, then one would have to either 
figure out how to make the multiarch config work, or venture to compile 
a 64-bit debugger with corresponding dependencies. Debian has given up 
on big-endian mips.

Cheers.
