Thanks for that info! I'll look into that.
Single threaded, yeah. I don't think there is much to gain from using
multiple threads for a program targeted for DOSBox, so I'm fine with that.

The stub will act like gdbserver by implementing gdb communication protocol but it will be a part of your program that will catch interruption and talk to gdb at this moment.
