+Runtest and gdbserver are no longer installed in the toolchain bin/ directory. Binary releases no longer include runtest at all, and gdbserver is a target tool; it is now shipped in the sysroot package under usr/bin/.
+
+Tools needed by the host are shipped in a new 'hosttools' directory, located next to 'destdir'. These packages are gmp, mpc, mpfr and dejagnu.

+Gdbserver is no longer linked statically, because dlopen(3) requires runtime access to the same shared libraries as the glibc used to link it.
