To be honest, I looked at it but didn't understand why all this stuff 
seemed necessary. If this is not for the remote protocol, then what is 
it for? A target supported by GDB, or something else? The addition of 
another stratum raises alarm bells with me, because the stratums are not 
as orthogonal as they should be, and I wouldn't be surprised if other 
configurations were broken by this. Also, how will everybody 
regression-test this (read: "make check") to know that other changes 
haven't broken this code?
