This works for elf files that resides in RAM, since  GDB sends a buffer 
memory write to  openocd. So for Linux and ARM9 targets this is ok, but 
the small guys have their programs in flash, and then the gdb-server 
must translate the memory writes into flash programming commands, and 
also keep track of  erased flash etc.
