I think, the process of building cross comiling gdbserver should be kept
separate to the normal config/build of GDB.  Instead either:

	o	a separatly tree configured
		for a canadian cross build
		(use cross compiler to
		cross compile gdbserver)
		
	o	something very similar to newlib
		(newlib is built using the
		uninstalled cross compiler from
		the build tree)

	enjoy,
