Description

when loading Arm64 vmlinux in gdb Arm64, it shows syntax error if Linux gdb helper scripts get configured.

Steps to Reproduce

# configure a project for arm64 bsp (marvell-cn96xx for example)
 # in the kernel, enable the helper scripts: 
{{CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS}} = y
 # build the kernel: bitbake linux-yocto
 # enter devshell: bitbake linux-yocto -c devshell
 # in devshell, build the helper scripts: make scripts_gdb
 # use an appropriate gdb on the vmlinux from the kernel build dir: aarch64-wrs-linux-gdb vmlinux
