GDB debugging

The instructions below need to be tested if they still work with a current Replicant release and these notes for Replicant 6.0 should be added, but with more details.

Here are some notes on debugging with GDB:

adb shell
gdbserver 127.0.0.1:8022 --attach $(pidof mediaserver )
adb forward tcp:8022 tcp:8022
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch replicant_maguro-eng
