Not sure which simulator you are trying to use, Micro Asm format is what 
AVA (http://medo.fov.uni-mb.si/mapp/uTools/index.html) produces and it was 
replaced by the gnu assembler in binutils a long time ago.  There is some 
work going on at the moment to get a simulator working with gdb-5.0, it 
will be some weeks/months yet I think.

Grab patch-0.1 from http://avr.jpk.co.nz/gdb-5.0-avr-patch-0.1.gz which has 
proper unix formatting, slight cockup in patch-0.0 thanks to those 
wonderful CR's in dos/win.
