With CDT 6.0 you can create a remote application debug configuration which
allows to download the executable to the target before the gdbserver is
started.
However, my debug executable is very large and I only want to autmatically
download the stripped executable (from which all debug information is
stripped) to the target.
In the C/C++ Remote Application debug configuration dialog, it seems like
it is not possible to define the file which should be downloaded on the
target, You can either select the stripped or the debug version.
