cross compiler version of gdb

You'll need need to compile a cross version of gdb. I'd use MinGW and MSYS, then pass this to configure: "--target=i686-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-mingw32 " (assuming your server is i686).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you debug a remote application you have gdbserver running on the remote host, and GDB running on the local host. GDB needs to know about the debug symbols and therefore needs to know where your application is, on the local file system.

Another way to say this is that you need two binaries: one on the local host and one on the remote host.
