Hmm, OK. Is there any use case where -s is used without -S? GDB
connecting at an arbitrary time during execution did not make sense to
me. If I created a small patch with "nowait" as an option would you
consider it? Most tcp connection options seem to have it.

As per the docs, -S requires user to press 'c' to continue whereas
with a waiting -s I can use a .gdbinit script to automate debugging.


Thanks,
