--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
 Although it seems to build perfectly ok, avr-gdb is not able to read
 debugging symbols from elf files. I tried switching to gdb-6.8 with the
 same effect.



 I found out that if built by hand with same ./configure parameters it
 works just fine, but using the port somehow elfread.o doesn't get linked
 in.
 Somehow the configure scripts seem to fail.  The Problem is afaik related
 to bfd's elf support: "checking for ELF support in BFD... no" if compiled
 by port, whereas ELF support is detected when build by hand.
