[oe] Building gdbserver only

Hi all,

I'm working on getting OE to build gdb-6.7.1.atmel.1.0.3 for the AVR32.  I 
have the gdb-cross working, but gdb is a little tricker.  gdb has not been 
ported to be hosted on the AVR32, so do_compile() quits when running the 
gdb/configure script.

It does support building gdbserver for the AVR32, though.  Trouble is, there 
doesn't seem to be an "easy" way to build just gdbserver.  To build just 
gdbserver, you run the gdb-${PV}/gdb/gdbserver/configure instead of 
gdb-${PV}/configure.  oe_runconf() substitutes the value of ${S} in.  If you 
try to modify ${S} so that oe_runconf() executes the correct configure 
script, then ${S} is screwed  up for do_patch() and the patches won't apply.  

Any ideas on how to solve this dillemma?
