gdb support for ppcbug

[Brendan Simon]

Yep.  I had that happen alot but I don't recall it happening during the download.
I have never run a remote-gdb either (except for my breif experiences as described
previously).  I gave up as it was killing the mpc8bug program so often that I got
really jack of it.  If you have gdb compiled on the windows machine then I would have
thought that you could talk to the pc interface board directly without going through
gdb server (or is that what you are doing ?)
