To start with, mips-linux-elf is not supported by gdbserver either with out-of-the-box 5.0: $ ../../configure --target=mips-linux-elf --host=mips-linux-elf *** ./configure.in has no "per-host:" line. *** Hmm, looks like this directory has been autoconfiscated. *** Running the local configure script. loading cache config.cache checking host system type... mips-linux-elf checking target system type... mips-linux-elf checking build system type... mips-linux-elf checking for a BSD compatible install...
