Something like this, under the existing "New remote packets": * New remote packets qXfer:libraries-svr4:read's annex The previously unused annex of the qXfer:libraries-svr4:read packet has now been defined to support passing an argument list. The remote stub reports support for this argument list to gdb's qSupported query. The defined arguments are "start" and "prev", used to reduce work necessary for library list updating, resulting in significant speedup. -- Pedro Alves
