--- Comment #4 from Simon Marchi <simon.marchi at polymtl dot ca> ---
I don't really know what's best here.  I just tried your different examples=
 to
get a feel of the problem, but I don't have a definite answer.  It seems
difficult to reconcile all use cases.

I think it's good if GDB and GDBserver have the same behavior.  It's also g=
ood
if that behavior is predictable.  I think we have to choose the behavior th=
at
makes the most sense, make sure it works the same in GDB and GDBserver, and
stick to it / make sure it is properly tested.  Whatever we choose, I think
some people will be unhappy (will see a change of behavior in their use cas=
e).

Disregarding things work today, I think makes sense that when using
startup-with-shell, the arguments are passed unchanged to the shell (althou=
gh
concatenated with spaces if more than one is given).  Otherwise, the option=
 to
run through a shell is kind of pointless.
