You could define it as two challenges to be addressed:
1) How to instrument the code and collect the data on a
native system, and
2) the fact that the gdb side is only written to handle
the remote target.
I would certainly love to see a native implementation
happen, and it would be fair to say that #2 is my fault,
so if somebody were to seriously undertake solving #1,
I would undertake to at least help work on #2...
