Torubles with remote stub for m68k

[Peter Barada <pbarada@mail.wm.sps.mot.com>]

I'm in the midst of bringing up a remote stub for coldfire using
gdb-5.1.1, and I'm having troubles getting it to step.  My stub does
not suppor the 'Z0' or 'e' packets so gdb has to fall back to the
insertion of a 0x4e41 (trap #1) instruction into the stream as a breakpoint.

when it hits the breakpoint, a 'si' command is expected to:

1) Restore the memory overwritten by the 0x4e41 (trap #1) instruction
2) Step the processor by setting the T bit in the SR register and
   return from gdb
3) Reinsert the previously removed breakpoint.

(and seen in version 4.16)

When I execute that with gdb-5.1.1, it attempts to step the processor
without removing the trap instruction so the target processor never
steps past the trap instruction.

Here's a cut back version of the remote protocol exchange(via set
debug remote 1) to show what's happening:

Any ideas how to best fix this?
