Then convert it into a doorstop, and get a real debugger.

I strongly recommend the BDI2000  by  Abatron  (see  www.abatron.ch).

You can't specify any load offsets? Oh dear. Get a real debugger!

Be assured that this will not remain the only problem. From all I know,
the PowerPC version of Linux is a big-endian kernel by design.
