If I understand correctly, there is no need for simulators, compile gdb with some options, on x86, that will simulate arm gdb with some basic arm environment! and I can try to finish architecture part first. Can you please elaborate ?

There's a nice separation in prec between architecture and OS/ABI. You could begin with the arm simulator that comes built-in to gdb, and do the architecture part before tackling the Linux ABI part.
