resulted from my misunderstanding of what qemu actually does.
I interpreted "Waiting" as a synchronizing rendezvous blocking wait,
while it seems that qemu is merely "Listening" without blocking.
The difference is important to me because I want to observe
the very first emulated instruction at hardware boot.  For the moment,
I have put an infinite loop there, then advance the instruction pointer
by hand once the gdb connection is established.
