Subject: debug: provide an option to copy the gdbserver to the target
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c56b58b4b71a5fd87d6d3d61e08a627c968acda1;p=buildroot.git

debug: provide an option to copy the gdbserver to the target

When an external toolchain is used, it is very likely that it contains
a pre-built version of a gdbserver that has the same version as the
cross-gdb included in the external toolchain. So, we now provide an
option that allows to copy this pre-built gdbserver to the target.

As the location of the gdbserver in the external toolchain is not
standardized, we only support the CodeSourcery and Crosstool-NG
layouts for the moment. Other locations can be added later.
