Re: remote debugging: "Reply contains invalid hex digit 59"

[Alex Gonzalez <linux-mips@packetvision.com>]

I have seen something similar in our platform when the gdb on the host
computer was not compiled correctly.

For example it may be cross-compiled for mips n32 while the gdbserver is
compiled for o32, or similar incompatibilities.

I would double check that the toolchains used to compile the host gdb
and target gdbserver match.
