I would like to build gdbserver to run on a RISCV platform and allow serial attachment from a Linux development machine.

I have tried to build various repositories e.g. riscv-binutils-gdb which I obtained from GitHUB via git. I am using a riscv toolchain that I downloaded from sifive. In the end I would like to test gdbserver on the sifive hifive 1 rev A01 that I purchased.

Here are the build commands I am using: 

CC=$RISCV_BIN/$RISCV_PREFIX"gcc" 
AR=$RISCV_BIN/$RISCV_PREFIX"ar" 
./configure --prefix=$RISCV_BIN/$RISCV_PREFIX --target=riscv64-unknown-elf --host=riscv64-unknown-elf --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

I would expect this to build gdbserver and its prerequisites, but I get errors such as:

/home/mroths/riscv-binutils-gdb/libiberty/./unlink-if-ordinary.c:67: undefined reference to `lstat'

I assume that I am not invoking the build correctly, but any assistance would be appreciated.
If there is a better repository to start with, please let me know that as well.

As of February 2019, gdbserver has not been ported to RISC-V yet. As a result it won't build.
