Wow...I think you are right.  I went back and re-read the  
documentation and
it does make more sense when read with your point of view.  I had  
somehow
understood that gdb does not have built-in networking code, so that
it would need gdbserver to handle networking for it.  Sounds silly  
now doesn't it?
If only the documentation had hit me over the head with something like
"gdbserver resides on the the remote target" although it does come
embarrassingly close to saying just that.

Thanks for your response.  I've never been so happy to be wrong!
