I think I've added all missing routines and it ALMOST work.
First, I have to specify 'set remotetimeout 60' otherwise gdb reports timeout 
error (Ignoring packet error, continuing...).
- Is it normal ?
Second, after I set any break point (e.g. break main) I cant use 'continue' 
command. Program stops after any instruction with SIGTRAP. When I force 
gdbserver to ignore 'stepping' variable, everything works fine. But Im sure 
it is wrong correction. Who is responsible for reseting stepping? And why we 
need it?

Thanks in advance.
