1027447 - run-gdb.sh should pick the correct gdb for non-ARM devices

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: GonkIntegration, defect)

Currently the only x86 "devices" we have configurations for are the emulators, but it would be useful to be able to debug there, since they're relatively fast on KVM-enabled hosts.  (The Geeksphone Revolution also exists, but however they build and debug for it doesn't appear to be published, at least not on their GitHub account.)

I have a patch for this, which will be more useful if it's not gathering dust in my local clone.

Also, we'll need to update gdbserver; the x86 version, even for KitKat, is from gdb 6.6 and doesn't work.
