I added a target to the "mips" code to directly control a JTAG cable connected to a PC parallel port. It did not use gdbserver. As an aside, I also use GDB to control a "C" based emulator and a VHDL based simulator. Since then, I have been looking into using gdbserver so I won't have to apply patches to GDB... I'm also hoping that since gdbserver is a separate process, some of the control issues that arise when trying to control a separate VHDL simulator may be more easy handled...
