Thinking beyond that, I think that GDB should conceptualy contain
a internal GDBserver. That way, when we port GDB to an architecture,
we're pretty much porting GDBserver as well, for free. And when
someone only ported GDBserver at one point, we don't need to redo
that work when porting GDB itself.
