Description lichray 2015-03-08 12:04:34 UTC 
We need an OPTION to install gdbserver along with the new gdb.  The base gdbserver is 32-bit only and obsolete.  We need the latest gdbserver with multiple architecture support.

There's no support to FreeBSD in gdbserver.

It's not just an option, the source code of gdbserver has no support to FreeBSD.

Setting "maintainer-feedback" to + because that indicates the maintainer responded to the bug, not that he doesn't agree with it.

I'm also closing it since the maintainer doesn't agree with it :-)

Did anything change with respect to gdbserver? Is it possible to port it? Is it a matter of just man-hours or there are some fundamental blockers?

(In reply to Gleb Popov from comment #3)

No, it's exactly as it was, there is no support for FreeBSD in the gdbserver code.
There is no fundamental blocker, it has just to be implemented and maintained.

There is a folder, named gdbserver. There you can see that there are no OS-arch FreeBSD specific files (there is netbsd-amd64, tho).
