Hi Robert,

FWIW, I've been doing something similar, with gdb/gdbserver 5.2 and with
the 5.3 CVS branch (the main difference is that the 5.3 has thread
support, which Daniel did.  I tried this on mips and it works great, but
I've not tried it on arm yet).

As far as the not stopping goes, this may be the same problem that I
reported a week ago (look for software single step in the archives). 
With Daniel's assistance, I've been able to isolate the problem (same on
5.2 and 5.3), and I have a fix.  Once I've cleaned up and checked it,
I'll send an patch and an explanation to the list (replying to software
single step thread), hopefully I should get that done today.

Regards, Stuart
