Finding Entry symbol

Hi all,

I am working with GCC 4.1.1 and GDB Version 5.2.1 for a
private target.
I need to find the root entry point from the given binary
file (elf format).

Any help regarding this?

Regards,
Rohit

Search for bfd_get_start_address.  I highly recommend you
not use that
old of a GDB version for any new work, though.

Especially with GCC 4.1.1 -- aren't there conflicts over
dwarf entries?

Oh, good point: yes, there probably will be.
