I suspected this also, but I have only one set of sources, did a clean
build, and had gdb load the ROM image.  Incidentally, this is how I do
it.  If there is a better way, please enlighten me.  (I'm doing this
from memory, so the exact wording might be off.)

sudo modprobe bdm
cd src
m68k-unknown-coff-gdb

$file ../bin/rom
$target bdm /dev/icd_bdm0
$r
Download source from src/../bin/rom? (y or n) [y] y

So, from the above, I don't know how the symbol file and executable
could be mismatched because they are the same file, right?

That looks reasonable.

Has it *ever* worked correctly in the past?

I don't know. I inherited the system from engineers who are gone. So, guess my next question is, does it make sense to go to a newer version of GDB to try and fix this and if I do this, will I also have to upgrade the gcc cross toolchain?
