Hi Frans and all,

may be this does not help your problem, but I had a similar situation:

I wanted to debug some application on ubuntu snappy on beaglebone black.
There is no gdbserver integrated in snappy.

I asked on mailing list "snappy-app-devel" how to do.
Michael Nelson send me a link to Michael Terry's deb2snap at 
https://launchpad.net/deb2snap to generate a snappy with gdbserver. May 
be this is applicable to ubuntu touch?
Loic Minier suggested to integrate gdbserver into the snappy 
distribution and told me to file abug (#1456340) in launchpad.
You may find the mail exchange in the mailing list archive under the 
subject "gdbserver in snappy on beaglebone black".

I think it would be a good support for application developers, if 
gdbserver is integrated "by default" or by simple "installation of dev 
tools" into ubuntu touch and ubuntu snappy.
To my opinion, if we have good documentation and good tools, there will 
be more and more developers more productively develop more and more and 
more applications...  ;-)

Best regards
Hans
