[Buildroot] gdbserver with external crosstool

[Aras Vaichas]

I've got a question about building gdbserver when an external
toolchain is selected.

in toolchain/gdb/Config.in:

config BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_SERVER
        bool "Build gdb server for the Target"
        depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL
        help
            Build the gdbserver stub to run on the target.
            A full gdb is needed to debug the progam.

Why doesn't Buildroot build gdbserver when an external toolchain is selected?

I noticed that both gdbserver and gdb are built (with the external
toolchain) by Buildroot, but only gdb is copied over to the target.

I see that BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GDB_SERVER_COPY allows the gdbserver
from the external toolchain to be copied over.

So why doesn't Buildroot allow me to copy over the gdbserver that I
built within Buildroot?
