In fact i did have to build gdb.

As i see it, gdbserver shoudl be the only one doing target operations
(fecthing register for example) and the rest of gdb (the inferace part) should
be a separate thing talking to a gdbserver (or a stub).
Today you can use gdbserver to do native debugging and not only remote
debugging... why bother having all the native stuff in gdb itself...?

Well just my 2 cents...
