This is an FYI for anyone that might be interested. I've started work
on a RISC-V linux native gdb port. I just have basic functionality
working. I can read/write integer registers. I can set breakpoints,
run programs, and continue after the breakpoint. There is probably
not much else working at the moment. I expect that I will continue
working on this as a side project, as binutils and gcc are my primary
focus, and I will try to submit a patch later when it is cleaner and
working better.
There is one linux kernel patch I needed to get this far, for RISC-V
PTRACE_SETREGSET support, and has already been submitted to the linux
kernel maintainers. I expect more linux kernel patches will be
required later, for instance to read/write FP registers.
