Is this really how you called GDB?

Where did you get this GDB from?

The same works fine here:

	-> ppc_8xx-gdb
	GNU gdb 5.1.1
	Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
	GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are
	welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.
	Type "show copying" to see the conditions.
	There is absolutely no warranty for GDB.  Type "show warranty" for details.
	This GDB was configured as "--host=i386-redhat-linux --target=ppc-linux".
	(gdb) add-symbol-file boot 0x7fc0000
	add symbol table from file "boot" at
		.text_addr = 0x7fc0000
	(y or n) y
	boot: No such file or directory.
	(gdb) add-symbol-file u-boot 0x7fc0000
	add symbol table from file "u-boot" at
		.text_addr = 0x7fc0000
	(y or n) y
	Reading symbols from u-boot...done.
	(gdb) p &_start
	$1 = (<text variable, no debug info> *) 0x7fc0100 <_start>
	(gdb) p &rtx
	$2 = (struct rtxbd *) 0x7fe20e0
	(gdb) info address rtx
	Symbol "rtx" is static storage at address 0x7fe20e0.

And just to verify without relocation:

	(gdb) symbol-file 
	Discard symbol table from `current image(s)'? (y or n) y
	No symbol file now.
	(gdb) symbol-file u-boot
	Reading symbols from u-boot...done.
	(gdb) info address rtx
	Symbol "rtx" is static storage at address 0x400220e0.
	(gdb)
