> Hello all,
> 
> GDB hits an assertion when interrupting an empty remote target.  Fix it
> by ensuring a valid thread first.  We can also skip sending the 'vCont'
> package for an empty target.  This is fixed in the second patch.
> 
> Regression tested on Ubuntu 24 with the native, gdbserver and extended
> gdbserver targets.

> I appreciate your feedback.
