Why not just switch from Mentor Graphics compiler to gcc?  It already
produces elf files with dwarf-2 debug information that gdb uses by
default.

See:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-03/msg00764.html

for more information on all the other patches to support ColdFire in
GCC.  Personally I'd try both gcc-3.2.3 and gcc-3.3.1 from my CVS
server...
