No, they are indeed the real thing. I can used them directly in ARM's
axd debugger (well it complains about the wrong byte order but there is
a workaround). I don't know the exact format, but I think they are AIF
files. Only the low level debug symbols at the end of the file all have
an extra character in the beginning axd doesn't like.

The best way to deal with these files is indeed a live connection with
Hammer. Off-line debugging is certainly possibe but Hammer is much nicer.
