More accurately, neither built gdbserver.

I didn't set CC to anything special.  Because mips64vr5000-unknown-elf
is a simulator target, the cross-debugger build includes gdbserver.  It
didn't link, because MIPS has been multi-arched, and gdb_arch stuff is
scattered all over the headers.  For solaris, I got lots of
prototype-related errors trying to build in the gdbserver directory; I
don't remember offhand what they were.
