gdb issue in linux with Sming

[sle118]

I have documented an issue on a Sming pull request, and narrowed the issue down to Xtensa gdb being out of sync with gdbstub from the pull request. Sming PR #350

using esp-alt-sdk, I cannot debug using the stub, and using esp-open-sdk v1.5 works well.

The culprit seems to be the gdb version difference.

open-sdk has the following version

GNU gdb (crosstool-NG 1.20.0) version 7.5.1 

alt-sdk has the following version

GNU gdb (GDB) version 7.10

We can try building esp-alt-sdk with gdb 7.5.1. No problem. You can fork the master and change gdb version in the Makefile . That should do the trick

I have cloned the repo and created a new branch. Building now on Ubuntu after which I will test debugging.
