I think we should differentiate a bit between Oleg's project and projects internal to gdb. I agree that the current approach of writing all linux-nat code twice -- once for gdb and once for gdbserver -- is no good. Also, I think Oleg's recent questions and investigations have shown that perhaps gdbserver is currently a bit lacking for local debugging. But, a lot of this is a problem specific to gdb. We could, for example, remove linux-nat.c and move to only allowing gdbserver. Or, we could have gdb and gdbserver share code. But either of these would be independent of whatever interface the kernel provides. Tom
