Juan,

I usually set TEXT_BASE=0 in board/lubbock/config.mk for debugging before 
start_armboot. No need to reflash. You should be able to reload symbols in 
gdb at offset 0, but for some reason I've never been able to get this to 
work correctly. So linking at 0 sets symbols for gdb correctly. Then you can 
use gdb in a normal manner.

HTH, Kyle.
