Most of the gdbserver bits required for multi-process are now in
mainline. I've left remote protocol support for follow-fork and
follow-exec support in the branch, as I'm not completelly happy
with the implementation there.
Then there's a lot to do:
1) Basic native linux multiprocess support.
2) Add multi-executable support
3) Make breakpoints aware of execs/address-spaces/inferiors
4) CLI syntax for the 2-4 above
5) Shared-libraries per-inferior
Plus a bunch of things mentioned in the MultiProcess wiki page
that need to be fixed.
#1 I'm cleaning up right now for submission.
Maybe with this in place it will be easier to recruit
some help. :-)
#2 and #3 and #4 are in the multi-process branch, but, they
need work to make it suitable for targets that share code
across inferiors. There are a couple of hacks in there to
fix too. #3 needs addressing of the issues raised in
the wiki page.
#5 needs doing.
We're a few weeks away from having this done, hopefuly,
before branch-time.
