The program I'm debugging is a Linux kernel on an ARM SoC over a serial
link. We're using an older version of buildroot to build everything
(planning to switch to something newer, which would also bring a newer
gdb version), but for now we're stuck with this:
$ cat bin/kernelgdb
#!/bin/sh
BR=~/src/buildroot
exec ${BR}/output/host/usr/bin/arm-buildroot-linux-musleabi-gdb ${BR}/output/images/vmlinux -b 115200 -ex "target remote localhost:4441" "$@"
With agent-proxy running on localhost 4440^4441.
$ exec ${BR}/output/host/usr/bin/arm-buildroot-linux-musleabi-gdb
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.10.1

(gdb) show configuration
This GDB was configured as follows:
configure --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-buildroot-linux-musleabi
--with-auto-load-dir=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
--with-auto-load-safe-path=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load

--with-lzma
--without-guile
--with-separate-debug-dir=/home/mw/src/FAME/miro-service.buildroot/output/host/usr/lib/debug (relocatable)
--without-babeltrace
("Relocatable" means the directory can be moved with the GDB installation
tree, and GDB will still find it.)
(gdb)
Is there a minimum required gdb version for gdb-mi to work correctly?

For now, I've switched back to gud-gdb without MI, which seems to work
better on my setup but I'm somewhat invested in the future of gdb/gud
and I think MI is a step in the right direction, so please let me know
if you need any more information.
Best regards,
Moritz
