Add the "-semihosting-config" option.
The usual semihosting behaviour is to process the system calls locally and return; unfortuantelly the initial implementation dinamically changed the target to GDB during debug sessions, which, for the usual arm-none-eabi-gdb, is not implemented. The result was that during debug sessions the semihosting calls were discarded. This patch adds a configuration variable and an option to set it on the command line: -semihosting-config [enable=on|off,]target=native|gdb|auto This option enables semihosting and defines where the semihosting calls will be addressed, to QEMU ('native') or to GDB ('gdb'). The default is auto, which means 'gdb' during debug sessions and 'native' otherwise.
