the loading has failed. The reason is

information which is disliked by her parser "fromelf.exe".

But all of

see if dwarf

following questions:

Does A) Is >dwarf-1 format supported in CrossGcc for MPC target??
B) if yes, what compilation flag >should I use in my makefile. (I am
using -g in the make)?
