Well, I am talking from a compiler writer's point of view.  Lack of a
simulator on an embedded port would limit the size of the community
that can work on that port.  Not everybody is willing to develop a
simulator when he or she just wishes to make a small modification to
GCC and test the compiler.

By the way, I've found the following page:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2001-02/msg00490.html

but I don't think it has ever made it to the repository.
