I don't know that trying to multi-arch gdbserver is useful.  The gdb
server is normally built to run on a specific host so supporting other
hosts is kind of wierd.  The only situtation where I can see it being
useful is for a platform that provides multiple kernel interfaces
(NetBSD has Linux compat mode; Solaris SPARC 32/64) and there I'm not
sure of the tradeoffs.  Simply building two gdbserver binaries would be
easier.
