If you look at patch 4/5 in my original series, that just what you're proposing here: a gdbserver that speaks only SPU. We've been using that to support x86 -> spu cross debugging, but it would certainly work for ppc -> spu cross debugging as well. However, the patch has the same type of slight abuse of the build system that Mark was concerned about for the native patch: it has a hack to build a gdbserver in a "cross" configure situation. Since I can't really build a native spu configuration, that's the only way to actually get a gdbserver built I could think of ...
