Np, I think that patch is valid with the scenario you mention below, 
however since it won't work properly as reinsert_addr doesn't work at 
this stage I think it may be better to introduce it when I post the 
single stepping support ?

Haa I had missed that scenario!

This won't work as that single step breakpoint is not a gdb breakpoint 
we need to check for a reinsert breakpoint like the patch I mentioned.

I tested the scenario with my patch and the issue is solved.

Note however I'm a bit concerted about the hack to remote_check_symbols. 
 I need to dig into it to understand that one should we expect it to 
work without this hack ?
