I was complicating my makefile for nothing. But now I have a different
error message and I have no clue why this is happening:

"[my machine]# arm-elf-gdb -nw hello

(gdb)"


Why this message: 'Reply contains invalid hex digit 0'?

If I try to issue 'continue' command, the same message shows up.

I'm compiling the hello program like this:

"arm-elf-gcc -g -I/home/cpereira/ecos/pads/ecos-work/install/include
hello.c -L/home/cpereira/ecos/pads/ecos-work/install/lib -Ttarget.ld
-nostdlib"

The simple, the better, right?

Thanks,
Cristiano.
