"DWARF information is corrupted" when debugging vmlinux

I have been trying to debug a Kernel problem on AM335x with CCS v5.5.  I've attempted to run CCS on Linux targets (Kubuntu 13.04, Kubuntu 13.10) and CCS crashes often (almost any time I change a configuration and close a dialog).

Instead, I'm trying to debug on Windows, and everything's fine up until I enter debug mode.  When it tries to load the symbols from vmlinux, I get: "DWARF information is corrupted."

I am following the instructions at: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Debug_in_CCSv5#Compiling_the_Linux_kernel_with_debug_information

What's wrong?  I need this to work because the kernel is locking up completely without Oops or debug info and FTrace is not dumping trace info when the lock-up occurs.

I am using XDS100v2 from Blackhawk (BH-USB-100v2D).  JTAG communication appears to work OK...but this must be a problem with the way CCS reads the debug symbols.
