>Paul Koning's bit about it being 300K is interesting, that's nearly an order of magnitude larger than I would have expected. But given the way our development timeframes operate, we might spend a lot of effort getting GDBserver down to 30K, only to find out it didn't really matter anymore because even GDB's smallest supported targets have 4G of RAM or more.

Note that I was describing a statically linked gdbserver. If I was willing to have it dynamically linked it would presumably be quite a lot smaller, but that means it won't help me debug problems involving library loading.
