powerpc-linux or powerpc64-linux and the spu-elf targets, using the
--enable-targets configure option.
* Non-stop mode debugging.
For some targets, GDB now supports an optional mode of operation in
which you can examine stopped threads while other threads continue
to execute freely. This is referred to as non-stop mode, with the
old mode referred to as all-stop mode. See the "Non-Stop Mode"
section in the user manual for more information.

extensions on linux targets.
