RE: [RFC] New GDB Port CR16

Hi,
Thanks for looking at the patch.

> I didn't see a gdbserver port in the patch.
Yes, that is correct. We do have a gdbserver port ready in the pipeline. 
I plan to post that later along with a tdep file customized for uclinux
platform. The current cr16-tdep.c works well with the existing simulator.

I have another cr16-tdep.c file (might call it cr16-linux-tdep.c) that would 
work with the kernel port. They have slightly different register set and use 
different breakpoint instruction. I am still not sure how to go about that part.

Right now, as per Mike's suggestion I will get the sim related changes approved
and checked in, then go step by step from there.

I didn't see a gdbserver port in the patch.  In any case, setting "build_gdbserver" means
that on a native cr16 gdb build, the build system will descend into gdbserver, and build
it as well, automatically.  I don't think you'll be able to gdb build natively on
cr16 (at least with this patch set).
