When I had this problem (actually using KGDB not BDI2000),
I found that GDB defaulted to e500 architecture (=processor)
but it only worked with the less processor-specific
"common" architecture setting:

(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set automatically (currently 
powerpc:e500)
(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
