powerpc-linux or powerpc64-linux and the spu-elf targets, using the
--enable-targets configure option.
+* Non-stop mode debugging.
+
+ For some targets, GDB now supports an optional mode of operation in
+ which you can examine stopped threads while other threads continue
+ to execute freely. This is referred to as non-stop mode, with the
+ old mode referred to as all-stop mode. See the "Non-Stop Mode"
+ section in the user manual for more information.
+
+ To be able to support remote non-stop debugging, a remote stub needs
+ to implement the non-stop mode remote protocol extensions, as
+ described in the "Remote Non-Stop" section of the user manual. The
+ GDB remote stub, gdbserver, has been adjusted to support these
+ extensions on linux targets.
