I only tried once, but I attached it to a new program:

gdbserver 192.168.1.102:5000 /opt/tinymail/bin/tinymail

Other computer: gdb, target remote 192.168.1.102:5000

And gdbserver crashed. I forgot what it said. I think something about
"target not found" or something with the tinymail binary.

But I will very soon do some more tests. Also, for example, using an NFS
share from my /scratchbox/users/$user/SDK_ARMEL/opt :)
