I forgot about remote gdb.Target code (PE32) is executed on remote
machine, so it will be a good option to have native cross-gdb tool. It
can be built as a native version of package "gdb".

I am not familiar with building gdb and using remote gdb. Does remote
gdb have a target? I mean, can we compile one tool which can run
remotely both x86 and x86_64 code?
