 20 Debugging Remote Programs
 ****************************
 
 If you are trying to debug a program running on a machine that cannot
 run GDB in the usual way, it is often useful to use remote debugging.
 For example, you might use remote debugging on an operating system
 kernel, or on a small system which does not have a general purpose
 operating system powerful enough to run a full-featured debugger.
 
    Some configurations of GDB have special serial or TCP/IP interfaces
 to make this work with particular debugging targets.  In addition, GDB
 comes with a generic serial protocol (specific to GDB, but not specific
 to any particular target system) which you can use if you write the
 remote stubs--the code that runs on the remote system to communicate
 with GDB.
 
    Other remote targets may be available in your configuration of GDB;
 use `help target' to list them.
