Soft single step is configured per platform (e.g. arm-wince has one and generic arm does not), IMHO, it should be provided on per CPU basis. 2. It has to be provided for every CPU - may be as part of multi-arch transition. 3. It should be run-time configurable - so it should be possible to use the same gdb image both with and without soft single step. 4. If target supports hw single step it should be possible to configure removal of breakpoints before stepping. Thanks, Aleksey
