Hi folks,

I have read Chapter 17 of the gdb manual that describes the usage of 
gdbserver and gdbstub. One thing was not clear: when to choose one over 
the other? I have a guess that one only need gdbstub when there's no 
operating system on the target machine or there are memory limitations 
that do not enable using the larger gdbserver. Am I right?
