You probably want the ELF format.  You can use gdb for debugging if
your target has (or you write) a debugging stub.

If it can be done in software, you can do it with GNU.  You may need
to write the code to do it, however.

You're already at one of the best places--- the crossgcc mailing list.

See also the updated, Not Ready For Prime Time crossgcc FAQ at
http://crossgcc.billgatliff.com, and see some articles in ESP magazine
related to GNU tools (http://www.espmag.com, search for "gatliff" or
"gnu").

For debugging stubs, see the gdbstubs project at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdbstubs.
