As a dumb Linux programmer who has peeked briefly into gdbserver's code, I vote for declaring gdbserver totally broken on all platforms if that's what it takes to get it fixed up cleanly. I would of course prefer that Linux be the first OS the new gdbserver is developed for :-) For what it's worth, I would like to use it with ppc405, ppc750, and sh4. My users are starting to scream for it... - Dan
