I would like to add another twist (which I don't see mentioned
elsewhere in this thread yet): cluster computing.
Google (and I am sure many others) has great interest in being
able to debug potentially 1000s of instances of execution of the
same program on multiple hosts. [Naturally, each host will have at
least one gdbserver running.]
This is almost, but not quite the same as what Michael suggests
above.
