Could you please explain why you think  building gdbserver should be submitted together?. This patch is related to the problem of Remote G Packet error which is mainly targeted for baremetal.
Solving the mismatching error between packets returning from XMD Stub and GDB.

This is plainly independent of the  patch that deals with gdbserver patch which mainly deals with native linux debugging support which is quite independent of this patch.

Support for SHR/SHL registers with baremetal support is quite different from the patch with building gdbserver as XMD doesnât use the gdbserver stub from the FSF sources. It has its own gdbserver And we donât have plans to replace gdb Server in XMD with gdbserver from FSF Sources. The building of gdbServer  from FSF is mainly related to Linux native debugging and use for Linux image Support of MIcroblaze which is quite independent of the patch submitted for baremetal.

I donât see any relations between the two and why the patches should be submitted together.
