1. gdbserver is not built/installed by default. You have to do
# make -C gdb/gdbserver
# make -C gdb/gdbserver install
2. gdbreplay is very small
# ls -l gdbreplay gdbserver
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hjl users 47000 Aug 6 18:45 gdbreplay
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hjl users 145836 Aug 6 18:45 gdbserver
I don't know what you meant by "taking up space".
