This subsubsection could benefit from a @cindex entry, since it
describes an important functionality.

Does this mean the previous wording was just plain wrong, or are you
changing the option's spelling?

A short explanation how this is used in multi-process debugging would
be good here.

Suggest a cross-reference to where extended mode is explained.

@ref does not produce a "see", so the above is wrong.  Why did you
replace @xref in the first place, it looks allright here (except that
you need a comma after the right brace)?

Is "extended-remote mode" a known term?  If not, we should probably
explain it, or else replace it with a more plain-language description
of it.

Other that these comments, the documentation patches are approved.

Thanks.
