I'm following yocto documentation for building (ADT manual section 4) 
and debugging (Development manual section 5.16)).
I set sysroot /opt/eldk-5.3/powerpc/sysroots/powerpc-linux in .gdbinit.
I verify that libraries are loaded as well from powerpc-linux-gdb but it 
continue to crash when I step into these functions.
I don't have libc source code installed because I don't want to debug it.
I expected that if I step into a printf function, gdb say to me that 
doesn't find source code and continue to step it the disasm code.

On target, the only customization is kernel version. I'm using 3.9.4.
Is this relevant?
