Sorry, can you just clarify something: if you're cross-compiling

debugging an ARM target, why would you need to configure gdbserver
for OS X?
As far as I understand it you run gdbserver on the target and would
only need
to run plain old gdb itself on your Mac.
Wow...I think you are right. I went back and re-read the
documentation and
it does make more sense when read with your point of view. I had
somehow
understood that gdb does not have built-in networking code, so that
it would need gdbserver to handle networking for it. Sounds silly
now doesn't it?
If only the documentation had hit me over the head with something like
"gdbserver resides on the the remote target" although it does come
embarrassingly close to saying just that.
Thanks for your response. I've never been so happy to be wrong!
