I have heard of this problem with Eclipse + CDT before, in the context of ARM gdb, where people have met the same problem. A guy I know (he held a workshop on Eclipse, CDT, ARM, eCos, gcc and friends) has made a similar patch for the CDT. Perhaps it would be worth looking at his patch too - a single patch that enables cross-platform debugging on a range of chips would be very useful, and more likely to be included by the CDT team.
