Yes.

Yes.

Yes.


If there is a simulator in the .../sim directory and GDB knows about it
(see gdb/config/*/*.mt) it will be linked in.  The file
include/remote-sim.h specifies the interface and the various sim
sub-directories contain examples.

Should I infer that there could be a GPL'd i386 simulator in the making?
