Host machine: RH 6.2 i386
Target Machine: Cirrus EDB7211 arm evaluation board running Linux.
I'm trying to get gdbserver to run on Linux on the eval board in user mode
to debug user applications using the serial port (and maybe someday tcpip)
talking to an i386 linux host machine.
On the i386 host machine, I have arm-elf-gcc V2.95.2 and
arm-linux-gcc egcs-2.91.66 available to build gdbserver. Is one preferable?
For i386, I have egcs-2.91.66 on the server
The gdb and insight 5.0 I have is different (in the areas patched by
your patch file). Please send me a pointer to your 5.0 (gdb and insight) so
I can start from there with gdb then insight (which will hopefully match
your patch file). It sounds like redhat may have
their own different V5.0 floating around. That's very confusing.
Incidently, I had gdb 4.18 running OK (gdb under emacs on the host for
source-line debug, gdbserver on the arm/linux board and the serial port)
but it didn't work with Insight so the cygnus/redhat folks suggested
trying 5.0 to see if that helped. I had to kludge 4.18 to get it to compile
and work too.

Glad to hear it! But so far, I've had to make lots of edits to get it to work

This would be a major help for people, especially if you explain a bit
about how to do cross-architecture stuff. What's there is very misleading.
Any improvement would be greatly appreciated.
