Hi all
I'm trying to debug a Linksys WRT54G3G router box using a EPI Majic-LX EJTAG 
emulator as the remote target. I seem to have a symbols offset problem using 
both GDB 6.5 release and 6.5.50 from today. The problem is that when setting 
breakpoints using function addresses they are not entered at the correct 
address. If I manually set them using the actual address they seem to be in 
the correct place. I also think this affect printing of variables too.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
