And, if we > can't configure gdbserver separately, then gdbserver/configure as well. I think we need to be able to configure gdbserver separately. Consider for instance the case of LynxOS: We first configure GDB with a native compiler in order to build a cross debugger. We then configure gdbserver separately with a cross compiler in order to cross-build gdbserver. I suppose that you could say: configure only gdbserver, and that'd be OK too, but I'm wondering if the extra complication would be worth it in this case.... -- Joel
