Hello all,

in my recent thread about SIGSEGV when compiling on win7,

someone mentioned remote debugging.
If this works well, it's probably the best way to debug graphical
programs. (I've read somewhere about a variant of switching between
debugger and graphics mode of the program to debug... I can't quite
imagine that anything resembling a pleasant flow can result from that,
and it probably creates artificial problems for the gfx application to
be debugged)

I have looked a bit, while there is GDB for DJGPP, there seems to be no
gdbserver for it, right?
So, how would one actually do remote debugging, from a more recent
windows machine running an IDE that supports GDB over to Windows XP, or
98, or even DOS?
"Serial debugging" was mentioned, I at first thought this would work
similar, just using a serialconnection instead of ethernet. Apparently
it does not work the same way as you'd debug a program via gdbserver
running on a remote system.
I'm not familiar with that at all. Can someone point me to an explanation?
Since I am somewhat familiar with gdb and it is very common, going a
route that rests on that would probably make most sense, even if it
works somewhat different on DOS.
