I am using the DK177 target board running NEC V850-SB1 processor. eCos version
1.3.10.
GDB stub is downloaded into the processor.

I had added a GPIO driver package into the eCos config., yet to be tested.
Also created a simple test program, test.exe.

Having downloaded and run the test.exe, hitting 'continue' will generate a
SIGTRAP.
SIGTRAP will keep on coming up as long as I hit 'continue'.
