I'm developing an embedded C application for an ARM7 processor with a
GNU toolchain. I'm using gdb to debug on the target. However, when I
start debugging (from Eclipse) it always starts in 'suspended' mode,
so I have to resume it always before the code actually runs. Is it
possible to start debugging with gdb in running mode?

Note: Eclipse uses a gdb script to do the hard work. Here are the last
two lines of it:

# Load the executable and symbols (all in image.elf)
load image.elf

What do I need to add to the script so it starts running automatically?

P.S. I did already try to add "run" to the bottom of the script. This
didn't work (same behavior).
