If I Wanted to Search for "android-ndk7b + DS-5 + gdbserver" Here ...

If I Wanted to search for "android-ndk7b + DS-5 + gdbserver" here, how would I?

Reason is, I can't debug with ds-5 as described.  It doesn't work.  Can't connect to port 5000.  Using the ndk7b gdbserver, it seems to  work.  Is it supposed to?

If I wanted to know if this was a known problem, how would I find out?

    Hi x40,

    Gdbserver needs to be linked against the libc.so library, the one binary is dynamically linked whereas the other is statically linked.
    The static gdbserver minimize dependences, but if the libc.so library is not compatible with the device a statically linked gdbserver may sigfault.
    Accordingly, DS-5 also provides a dynamically linked binary to work around the variety of libc.so implementations.

    Regarding the colour issues, I pass on the question to one of my colleagues.
