That's because they're never implemented on the targets people want them for :-) A native implementation would be good to have. Michael said about everything I can think of about the plan of attack for a gdbserver implementation. The status hasn't changed since the wiki entry was added; yet another implementation has been done in gdbserver since then, and its author was interested in contributing it, but the legal paperwork was out of reach for his employer :-( -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
