If all you want to do is watch a BSP where it works, then using a
simulator
and a BSP for that is nice.  sparc/erc32, mips/jmr3904, and powerpc/psim
are
all options.  The simulators are included in gdb so all you have to do
is compile
and go.

If you want to trace the actual init on your target PC, then you will
have to setup the remote debugging capabilities in gdb and step that 
way.
