Ok that worked pretty well, except that gdbserver wants a library called
libthread_db.so on the target.  From what little I can find this looks
like something I should build from the glibc mess.  Does anyone know
what options I need to add to the glibc build in order to create this
library?

Just make a symlink to libthread_db.so.1.

Thanks!

I'm about to go and grab gdb to build a host-based debugger and
target-based (PPC 405GP) gdbserver.  Anybody out there with advice on
how to do this?  Should it just work out of the box or is there stuff I
need to do to gdbserver for this platform?  The sources I just found are
gdb-6.0, and I'm using quite recent tools (gcc 3.3.2 glibc 2.3.2
binutils 2.14.90.0.5 - kudos to Dan Kegle for the crosstools stuff!!!).

Thanks!

It should simply build and work.  You build GDB by setting a --target
and gdbserver by setting a --host.  If you don't want to build a native
GDB at the same time, run the --host build by gdbserver/configure
instead of the top-level src/configure.
