Guess you missed that this was in the users/palves/multi-target-v2 branch.  :-/

That's great to hear.

Agreed.

I've tried to debug this a little, but I'd like to punt for now.  The error
I'm seeing first comes from a breakpoint re-set, where gdb tries to
read memory from the valgrind that is running.  Breakpoint re-sets currently
are too dumb and re-set all locations, instead of only adding/removing
the locations necessary.  And then that is running into the fact that
the remote protocol in the old all-stop mode (which is what valgrind supports)
is synchronous, gdb can't talk to the remote target until the target
reports a stop.

These sorts of issues is why I required that the remote backends
support non-stop mode for this initial pass.  I'd rather not have to fix
all these issues before landing the initial multi-target support, even
if we know there are issues we need to fix to make it cope better with
all-stop-only targets.

Yes, that is fine with me.
