Sorry, originally misinterpretted your use of "board" as referring to
the board itself, and perhaps PMON (I've found a number of references
online to GDB talking to PMON, but not much else). 

So what I've found by looking at other board-specific code revolves
around GDB talking to an in-kernel stub via the serial port. As the
board I'm working with has an unreliable serial port (and some
incarnations don't even have that), what about ethernet-based
debugging? Is that do-able, say via putDebugChar() (although I suspect
this poses an initialization problem)? 

Thanks for the info so far.
