:) Right.  If the remote target doesn't support the Z packet, GDB will use

Ok. Thanks for the explanation. I assume that "remote Z-packet" is on
by default.

I tried setting it off and found that I had the bytes swapped on the
break insn. After fixing that, my simulator worked fine:

(gdb) set remote Z-packet off
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x104: file tst.c, line 34.
(gdb) c
Continuing.

:) Yes, it will avoid the problem.  My patch is at:

Ok. I'll verify that and then commit my patch.

Thanks.
