Alexey, All,

Well, other toolchains usually put gdbserver in the sysroot or the
arch-sysroot, so it looks like a proper location to put it.
crosstool-NG toolchains put it in a specific directory, 'debug-root',
which stands side-by-side with the sysroot (not necessarily the best
move I did with that, but that's supported by Buildroot).
gdbserver, being a target executable, really has no place in the
top-level bin/ directory. It would be good to move it out of there.

Yes, using _FIXUP_CMDS is a good solution, and is made exactly for this
kind of situation. Just copy in into sysroot/bin/ and you're done.
