I see you found out the answer to your last two posts for yourself!

Yes, you could use either a remote arm development board, or a software
simulator; gdb comes with a simulator built in.

Check the gdb texinfo files by doing "info gdb", then search for "target
sim". Basically you just say "target sim" instead of "target remote" or
"target exec", then use commands like load, run, break, continue etc. as
normal.

It certainly ought to work. Note however that the simulator will have no
notion of i/o hardware or similar.
