How was this configured / built? Ant known to be working standard way
like crosstool etc?

Ummm... but ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -g ... is IMHO a perfectly legal way
to run GCC:

`-g'
     Produce debugging information in the operating system's native
     format (stabs, COFF, XCOFF, or DWARF 2).  GDB can work with this
     debugging information.

IMHO this is a tool configuration issue.
