- Eclipse will do the same as ddd(I think, not knowing ddd), it will connect to
the host:port or serial that the gdbserver is running.  This mean that somehow you
will have started gdbserver on the target and uploaded the application
on the target.

- The "GDBServer" debugger launch tab to do this(setting serial or host) is in the
head branch not your snapshot, it is code donated by MontaVista.

- The "auto" error usually comes when Eclipse debug session starts
it tries to do in the GDB/MI protocol:

	(gdb) -gdb-set auto-solib-add on

as the first step.  Try on your sparc-elf-gdb command line

	(gdb) set auto-solib-add on

see if it returns an error.  Because even if the "GDBServer" Tab is not in your
snapshot you can still pass some commands in a ".gdbinit" file.
