According to the SOM spec the subspace alignment must be greater than zero.
Thus, this seems like a bug in the HP linker.

About the source level remote debugger of Windows based version for GNU
cross tools, please reference the web site: http://www.cygnus.com then you
may get more idea about it.
Winbond is one IC maker in Taiwan. We developed the PA-RISC 1.1 architecture
level 0 controller and focus in Embedded controller market. We using the
cross tools (DOS or DOS prompt in Windows based running on PC) provided by
CYGNUS. If you've interested about our chip spec. or develop platform,
please reference our web site at http://www.winbond.com.tw -> select product
overview -> select product information -> select Visual Communication ICs ->
select Embedded Controller then you'll get the chip information and
evaluation kits information.
Because we're interesting the Linux kernel can be run on our platform, if we
can have any contribution in your porting project, please let me know.
Thanks!
