I'm not too familiar with GDB, but my information is as follows:

It is possible, but requires to not only extend Nut/OS but also modify
the GDB server. I think that OpenOCD can be attached to FreeRTOS
threads. May be we can adapt this to Nut/OS as well.

The FreeRTOS' GPL won't hurt us in this case, because debugging routines
won't go in to production code.
