I personally am not. I am a little preoccupied with the fact that
we seem to be duplicating more and more code between the gdbserver
and GDB, and one of these days we'll probably want to bite the bullet
and make the GDB code use the gdbserver target-side of the code
(read/write memory, step/run/continue, etc). But in the meantime,
Pedro and others seem to be well on top of things :).
