So, here is what I could gather (full log at the end of this email [1]).
GDB sends the $qSupported packet, equiring about support...

    | Sending packet: $qSupported:multiprocess+;swbreak+;hwbreak+;qRelocInsn+;fork-events+;vfork-events+;exec-events+;vContSupported+;QThreadEvents+;no-resumed+#df...Ack

... and the list returned is fairly small, as I suspected:

    | Packet received: qXfer:features:read+

After that, I don't see very much happening at the vCont level,
so fast-forward to the first "cont" command (after having inserted
a breakpoint), and we see some interesting stuff. In particular,
GDB asks the target what vCont support it provides, and here is
what we receive:

    | Sending packet: $vCont?#49...Ack
    | Packet received: vCont;c;s;C;S
    | Packet vCont (verbose-resume) is supported

Hah! So, on the one end, the stub says stepping is supported
('s' and 'S'), but on the other hand we were told that this
feature is not supported on ARM.

So, if I understand correctly the current situation, we do have
one small infrastructure adjustment to do in GDB, but then once
done, if the stub on advertised support for "vCont;c;C", then
GDB would automatically be switching to software single step.
Do I understand correctly?

If that's correct, I'll make sure AdaCore forwards the suggestion
to Sysgo.

Thanks!

    + "break xxx" + "cont" + "next" session, just for the record.
