No, since we have no idea what the bug is.

You could certainly hack it to; I don't know if it would be generally
useful.

Use a third-party program which converts RDI to the GDB remote

that you can probably still find (I'm afraid I don't remember the name)
and one in CodeSourcery's ARM releases, which are publicly available.
There might be others, too.
