I once was told that with using gdbserver, "Pause" (while not hitting a 
breakpoint) is not possible.

That is why I found that using ssh to remote-control "normal" gdb on the 
target (instead of locally controlling gdb and having it connect to 
gdbserver on the target) would be more appropriate.

Moreover I found that, with an embedded target, finding or creating a 
normal gdb might be a lot easier that finding or creating the "cross 
gdb" (running on PC but understanding the Target's files) plus the 
gdbserver for the target.

I found that - at that time - the code for ssh'ing gdb was present in 
the Lazarus source but was commented out (supposedly because it's not 
yet ready for use).
