Yes, I like this idea too, but I am still unsure how complicated
execution control in GDBserver will be after software-single-step is
added in GDBserver.

I disable this feature on non-hardware-single-step targets, because
these targets don't know how to do precise software single step. I
don't know when GDBserver can do software single step, IMO, it's better
to disable this feature.

Yes, we can do improvements in this way, however, in this case, the
feature is somewhat broken on some targets, we either fix it or disable it.
