Mark,
"a fully featured native GDB replacement or a lightweight remote
protocol stub" is *not* related to this patch at all.  I am unable to do
such choice.  This patch (and other patches of mine in this area) is to
reduce source code duplication as much as possible.  No matter what
model we choose for gdbserver, this patch still makes sense, IMO.

configure problem has been fixed for some weeks by reverting my
configure/make stuff in common/ dir.
