(Just the day for this answer...)

Same way as anything else! You need to have a compiler capable of
building target userland binaries, and a development environment set up
for same. You may need to run configure in the gdbserver directory
manually, with CC set appropriately. Note that you want a gdb
configured --host=<your target>, not --target=<>!

I don't give it good odds of compiling. I've tried several times to
clean that up and gotten stymied in various people's objections to my
methods (sorry Andrew). I'll be taking another stab at it this week I
think.

If you get it to build, drop the list a line with your platform.
