It would.
We discussed thread support a while back, and one suggestion
was to write something that would work with anything that
implement's gdb's "remote" protocol.
Such a "thread server" would sit between gdb and another
"child" gdb-server (e.g. OpenOCD). The thread server would be
a gdb remote server itself, and would transparently pass on
non-thread-related commands to the child gdb-server.
Thread-related commands would be handled by the thread-server
by examining eCos kernel structures or making vtable calls via
"remote" commands sent to the child gdb server.
That way it could be used with things like an Abatron BDI2000
or some of the other JTAG boxen that do the gdb remote
protocols in addition to OpenOCD.
