"target async" has suffered bitrot.  Kei Sakamoto writes:

Refering async target in remote.c, I'm implementing the asyncronized version
of m32r new remote target. But I noticed the async target didn't work correctly.



> cat hello.c

main()
{
  printf("hello, world\n");
}

> gcc -g hello.c
> ~/gdb-20031001/build/gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver localhost:2345 a.out

Process a.out created; pid = 8522

Is the async target under development? If so, is there any other remote
target I can refer as a example of asynchronized remote targets?
