      gdbserver >= 7.2 comes with an optional library to use tracepoints,
      the In Process Agent (IPA) library, libinproctrace.so. This library
      uses some GNU extensions from the C library.
      
      Say 'y' if you intend to use tracepoints when debugging your
      programs with gdbserver.
      
      Note: Currently, building this library is not possible when the
            gdbserver is built statically. This is a limitation in
            crosstool-NG, so do not bug upstream about it...

    help
      In case you have trouble with dynamic loading of shared libraries,
      you will find that a static gdb comes in handy.

      However, it has been noticed at least on x86 that enabling this
      option produces an invalid gdb binary. It is linked with
      "-static -Wl,--dynamic-list=..." which
      # (a) requests invalid program interpreter
      # (b) crashes glibc/uClibc-ng and does not work with musl
      # See https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-03/msg00267.html

      It is possible it would work with other architectures, hence it is
      not completely removed. Use with care and report to the mailing list
      if the resulting binaries work.

      Say 'y' if you do not want gdbserver to require libstdc++.so on the
      target.
