Use gdbserver --multi on remote

[clauderobi]

I need to work with a remote host that runs gdbserver --multi. For this, gdb must use target extend-remote. But so far, all eclipse debug configuration always try target remote and fail.

Just setup a normal C/C++ Remote Application. There is no way to alter the normal startup flow (which uses target remote).

The expected behaviour is that eclipse detects that the remote is running with --multi OR at least allow the configuration to specify it.

Ubuntu 24.04
Eclipse 2024-12
Eclipse CDT 4.34.0

I can see this issue, for example I get this error when I try "GDB (DSF) Manual Remote Debugging" (faq entry):

For GDB Hardware Debugging it is supported as @jld01 added support for extended-remote a while ago, see this N&N entry - maybe this can be a workaround.

Also, if anyone wants to pick this up, attach to application is using extended-remote already, so I think all the pieces are there, it just needs to be stitched together for @clauderobi's use case.
