Oh, I see, I misunderstood the purpose of that switch... Thanks for
pointing this out.

Thanks. I just checked this change in.

I just double checked and it is indeed in the README (I read it too
quickly it appears). All this time I have spent watching our little
board build GDB, when it wasn't necessary :-/... Oh well, there is
still a little bit of a gain, since GDB now builds on LynxOS too.
Adding the native part shouldn't be too hard if anyone is interested.
Thanks again,
