Traditionally we speak of the machine running gdbserver as the target,
and the machine running gdb as the host. To make sure we are on the
same page -- you are running gdb on an i686 machine and gdbserver
on an x86_64 machine. Correct?
How is gdb configured? When you start gdb, it should tell you
something like:
This GDB was configured as "--host=i386-pc-linux-gnu
--target=x86_64-linux.
Your error message may suggest that gdb expects the target to
have 32 bit registers instead of 64. Are you sure you are not
using the native i686 gdb?
