The code, yea.  Just check that part in.

The doco, though, does not belong in ``Implementing a remote stub'' :-( 
(the existing doco is scrambled).

Can you please insert at the start of that chapter a new section called:

	@section Connecting to a remote target

and then, from ``Using the gdbserver program'' and ``Using the 
gdbserv.nlm program'', replace ``On the GDB host machine'' with an @xfef 
to ``Connecting to a remote target''.  And move 7. on from 
``Implementing a remote stub'' to the new section.
