Hi Steven,
Have you enabled the CONFIG_DEBUG* options in the right file? For
example, for debugging PPC you need to make the changes to
config/examples/ppc_config.xml if you are doing a native build and
config/examples/cross-ppc_config.xml if you are using a cross-compiler.
Also, "make clean" isn't sufficient for a rebuild based upon a
configuration change. Once you've made the configuration changes, you'll
need to blow away the obj-ppc directory and re-run the switch-arch
script to regenerate it with the new configuration.
HTH,
Mark.
