    gdbserver: small cleanup of README file · c00094dc
    Simon Marchi authored
    Fix a few outdated or incoherent things in the README:
    
    - Don't mention remote.c nor *-stub.c files as references for the remote
      protocol.  remote.c is in GDB, not GDBserver, and *-stub.c files don't
      exist today.  Add a link to the documentation instead.
    
    - In the "server (target) side" section, use `:2345` instead of
      `host:2345`.  It currently says that using `host:2345` means we would
      expect a connection from `host`.  That's not what I would expect by
      passing a host part here.  If I passed `11.22.33.44:2345` as the listen
      address, I would expect it to instruct gdbserver to listen only on that
      (11.22.33.44) network interface, not to expect a connection from host
      `11.22.33.44`.  So, remove that part of the sentence.
    
    - Remove the list of supported target, refer to configure.srv instead.
      Keeping a list here is bound to lose sync with reality.
    
    - In the cross-compile instructions, I don't think it's necessary to mention
      "In a Bourne shell".
    
    - In the cross-compile instructions, I don't know what passing
      `your-target-name` to configure does, I don't think it's valid.  Use
      `make all-gdbserver` as in the instructions just above.
