So, I didn’t see anything that allowed it to work on targets that have gdb and can work. Turning it off unconditionally for all crosses seems wrong. You could test to see if gdb is present (say, by running —version). If present, assume this is as it should be. If absent, just don’t test anything that requires gdb. This works then in a native environment when gdb is absent, and crosses that can’t have a gdb for any reason.
