[lldb-dev] gdb-remote incompatibility with gdbserver?

[David Manouchehri via lldb-dev]

My apologizes if this is mentioned somewhere already, couldn't find
anything on the subject; it seems that gdb-remote doesn't work very
well (or at all in my tests) with gdbserver.

Tim Hammerquist was also able to reproduce issues when attempting to
use gdb-remote with gdbserver. (Test with freebsd/gdbserver,
freebsd/lldb38, freebsd/gdbserver, and macos/lldb-900.0.57.)

Could we document this somewhere? It's not a large issue since there's
alternatives like lldb-server and Facebook's ds2, but it's a bit
confusing to new users who fairly expect a command called "gdb-remote"
to work with gdbserver.

(lldb) target create "date"
Current executable set to 'date' (x86_64).
(lldb) # In another terminal: gdbserver localhost:4444 /tmp/date
(lldb) gdb-remote localhost:4444
