No real plans. We haven't even thought through what issues need to be
resolved.
This kind of problem is really mostly in gdb's domain -- many embedded
systems today have multiple processors and it's awful nice to be able to
look at the state for each one under the control of a single gdb session.
However, in the gcc world, typically the programs for each of the cpus
in a system are built separately into different images.
