The programmer from Austria did research on this. I only reproduced that 
it did work when installing "Code Sourcery".

Did you try to create the  PC->ARM cross gdb and ARM cross-compile the 
ARM gdbserver ? It might be that this in fact was why he needed the huge 
libraries.

I myself was not that much interested in the gdb->gdbserver remoting. I 
would be more after a decent implementation of SSH->gdb remoting in 
Lazarus. But as he gave up, I was not inclined to continue working on 
this all alone, while the project I intended could be made working by 
first debugging it on a PC and then doing some code-instrumentation to 
find the last few bugs that only showed in the target environment.
