I might have posted this to a wrong group. Posting to the kernel group. With some hacking, I could able to get the gdbserver to the link with bionic libraries and run on my target (armv7) platform. But, I see that the gdbserver can only trace ARM code not thumb code. Then I looked at the ptrace code in kernel and saw that it doesn't support using breakpoints for the thumb code.
See arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c printk(KERN_WARNING "ptrace: can't handle thumb mode\n"); Question: Did anyone used gdbserver to single step thumb/thumb2 code?
