    package/gdb: Enable OpenRISC GDB support
    
    The OpenRiSC gdb port has supported native debugging since version 8.3
    and remote debugging since before that.  So it is now safe to enabled
    this.
    
    This patch removes the conditions blocking gdb from being built on or1k
    architecture builds.

Stafford said that "remote debugging" works.

So, what is correct? :-)
