Thanks! And ditto to other contributors.

Yes, it won't work. It's possible to do clever things using a go-between
server that talks to GDB on one side and the target on the other (like the
infamous multi-ice-gdb-server). We've done it before, but the fun is in the
intelligence in the go-between program.
It's something we'd like to do, but no customer has approached us asking
for it yet.
