branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
When an external toolchain is used, and the user has chosen to copy
the external toolchain gdbserver to the target, then we should allow
the user to build a gdbserver and/or a cross-gdb: the ones of the
external toolchain should be used.
The reasoning is that one must use a gdbserver and cross-gdb of
identical versions to be sure that debugging will work properly.
Change suggested by Yann E. Morin.

Build the gdbserver stub to run on the target.
A full gdb is needed to debug the progam.

Build a cross gdb that runs on the host machine and debugs
programs running on the target. It requires 'gdbserver'
