I would prefer to say "target-side" everywhere actually - no one really 
knows what we mean by "stub", and if they try to understand it by 
looking at, say, our foo-stub.c files, they'll get really confused. :-)  
"Target-side" has the right connotation of "outside GDB" but without 
committing to a specific implementation strategy - like conditional 
breakpoint tests in h/w debug registers, which would be the most awesome...
