+ GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is
+ going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or
+ what another program was doing at the moment it crashed.
+
+ This option allows to build gdbserver and/or the gdb
+ debugger for the target.
+
+ For embedded development, the most common solution is to
+ build only 'gdbserver' for the target, and use a cross-gdb
+ on the host. See BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB in the Toolchain menu
+ to enable one. Notice that external toolchains often provide
+ their own pre-built cross-gdb and gdbserver binaries.
