            Bug ID: 15840
           Summary: doc: gdbserver: Are the binary files needed on the
                    host, or only on the target?
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dilyan.palauzov at aegee dot org

Hello,

in section "Debugging information in separate files" is explained how to split
a build file into executable code and debug information.  Section "Running
gdbserver" states

    You need a copy of the program you want to debug, including any libraries 
    it requires.  'gdbserver' does not need your program's symbol table, so you 
    can strip the program if necessary to save space.  GDB on the host system 
    does all the symbol handling.

The documentation is clear, that the debug symbols are needed only on the host,
but it is not clear, if I need the stripped files with executable code on both
host and target, or only on the target.

Thanks in advance for clarifying this.

Greetings
  Dilyan
