Debugging with GDB Manual The GNU Source-Level Debugger (769148-001, March 2014)

--norecursion Configure only the directory level where configure is executed; do
not propagate configuration to subdirectories.
--target=target Configure GDB for cross-debugging programs running on the specified
target. Without this option, GDB is configured to debug programs that
run on the same machine (host) as GDB itself. There is no convenient
way to generate a list of all available targets.
host ... Configure GDB to run on the specified host. There is no convenient
way to generate a list of all available hosts.
There are many other options available as well, but they are generally needed for special purposes
only.
