Yes. As I said. But I never used it to debug u-boot together together
with GDB. After the serial console was up I used printf-like debugging.
And before that point I could live quite good with simple BDI commands.

I don't know. I used a toolchain which I build myself using
crosstools-ng (see http://freshmeat.net/projects/crosstool-ng/)

Check my patch series and you will see ;-)
