 Thanks to all the help from Pedro on this.  I'm including a build script
that 
patches gdb 6.7.1 and builds gdb and gdbserver.  not sure the best way to
post this so I'll just include it inline for now.



#!/bin/bash
# build-gdb-6.7.1-mingw32ce
# built with mingw32ce distro 0.51
#

src=gdb-6.7.1
patchfile=mingw32ce.patch

echo "UNTAR $src DISTRO"
tar xvzf $src.tar.gz

echo "PATCHING $src DISTRO for mingw32ce"
cd $src/bfd
# using bfd patch submitted by Pedro 2007-12-10
patch < ../../mingw32ce.patch
cd ../..

echo "BUILDING GDB"
mkdir build-gdb
cd build-gdb
../$src/configure --target=arm-wince-mingw32ce --prefix=/opt/mingw32ce
make 
make install
cd ..
echo "GDB BUILD COMPLETE"

echo "BUILDING GDBSERVER"
mkdir build-gdbserver
cd build-gdbserver
../$src/gdb/gdbserver/configure --host=arm-wince-mingw32ce 
make
arm-wince-mingw32ce-strip gdbserver.exe -o gdbserver-stripped.exe
echo "GDBSERVER BUILD COMPLETE"
echo "copy gdbserver-stripped.exe to the device and rename it gdbserver.exe"
cd ..

Build gdb with --target=arm-wince-mingw32ce Build gdbserver with
--host=arm-wince-mingw32ce
