A possible solution, from the sound of it:
Rather than coping with the question of getting interprocess
observation to work the way gdb wants it to, "just" ( (: )
rewrite the serial-remote-debugging code to run over a "virtual port",
one end of which goes to the debugger, the other to the debuggee
(essentially an ersatz pipe). Then, as long as you're running
Desqview and have simple multitasking, you can run gdb and your
program on one machine just as you would for a two-machine remote-debugging
solution.
Assuming that one can build the remote-debugging gdb to work on
two separate PC's, one can also accomplish this trick, as long
as Desqview is available. Seems worth trying. (Personally I don't
even *have* Desqview, but a debugger somebody can use is better than
no debugger at all.)
