problem with gdb stub compiling

[XCV]

hello!i've got a problem while try to run a simple example with i386-stub:while i implemented the subroutines:putDebugChar();getDebugChar();exceptionHandler(); in gdb.c ,and then compile it with i386-stub.c and my test.c with command: 			gcc -O -c  i386-stub.c gdb.c test.c   and then   gcc -o test i386-stub.o gdb.o test.o . i got lots of "undefined reference":

Wow, this stub code is really ancient, and (evidently) not well
maintained.  Overlooking one simple textual patch, the last changelog
reference is from 2001, nearly 7 years ago.

What's your target?  Is it a bare board, without an operating system?

If it's Linux or something, you could probably use gdbserver.
