What should I do to build a debug version of U-boot.
I currently add ¨#define DEBUG¨ to the u-boot_1.1.2/include/configs/board_name.h file.
Is it the right method?

I building U-boot for a custom board derived from the MPC8540ADS, and when I start gdb I
get a strange warning. If someone has any idea it would help!

linuxcompiler:~/u-boot/u-boot_1.1.2$ ppc-linux-gdb u-boot
