Not necessarily.

What should happen if, at the same time as the target is creating / 
sending an O packet, GDB sends a <BREAK>?  The protocol spec says nothing.

I believe, to define this, one would end up specifying a new protocol.

In the mean time, the existing protocol remains ``synchronous''.  GDB 
sends a request, the target replies.  At any time either GDB, xor the 
target is in control.

Out of interest, does the n/x packet code in gdbserver, let go of a 
created thread immediatly or does it wait until it has received the ack?
