I agree. Not only that, but differences like these can be very annoying
when setting up automated testing. You write a test script that expects
one thing because that's what happens in the native case, then all of
a sudden, you have an exception when using gdbserver...

I'm not very familiar with the remote protocol, but I don't see much
benefit in generalizing this approach. Perhaps you'd like to expand,
but I'm happy with the simple approach you took.

The patch looks OK to me too. There are one or two new functions
that are undocumented, and we've been bugging contributors about this,
so it'd be nice to have a short description preceding them. Other than
that, no comment.
