Sorry, I still don't understand: does this mean a remote debugger with
some stub on the remote DOS/Windows machine? Or maybe the stub (or
gdbserver) running inside DOSEmu on the GNU/Linux box?
My point is that DJGPP debugging is very special: there's no OS
provision for system calls like ptrace etc., so the only way to debug
a DJGPP inferior is to run it natively under a specially built program
that is linked against the DJGPP debug support library. I'm curious
how does your cross build achieve that, since I believe neither
gdbserver nor any of the remote-* modules support DJGPP as of now.
Do I understand correctly that the build in question uses
i386/tm-go32.h, and that its definition of JB_PC was the culprit?
