Great, thanks a lot !

Someone on the list did already answer, and told me about gdbpanel, but this 
add to the documentation will be helpfull cause I'm sure I'm not the only one 
who is wondering how to do that.

I have an other question relative to this topic ( debugging ) : when I 
compile my application with debug information, the code size is growing a 
lot, which is normal because the debugguer need all these informations.

So I understand that the 'bfd' executable could be big, but does the .PRC 
file need also to be so big ?
Ok, unoptimized code is bigger than optimized one, but it seems the .PRC file 
contain also a lot of debugging informations, as it size has changed a lot : 
the code grows from 18 Kb to 37 Kb ( twice it's size ! ) making it necessary 
to handle multiple code segments when I want to debug it...

And, as mentionned in the new documentation, debugging does not work well 
with multiple code segments, so I'm wondering if there is any way to keep the 
debug informations into the bfd executable only while having just unoptimized 
code in the .PRC file, making it not so big ?

Thanks.
