However, it has been noticed at least on x86 that enabling this option produces an invalid gdb binary. It is linked with "-static -Wl,--dynamic-list=..." which # (a) requests invalid program interpreter # (b) crashes glibc/uClibc-ng and does not work with musl # See https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-03/msg00267.html It is possible it would work with other architectures, hence it is not completely removed. Use with care and report to the mailing list if the resulting gdbserver works.
