Please fix nios2-gdb-server-wrapped

Would the authors of nios2-gdb-server-wrapped, _please_ set the SO_REUSE_ADDR option on the server socket before calling bind()? I'm getting really tired of sitting on my hands waiting while the gdb-server tells me it's unable to bind with an EADDRINUSE error. Everytime gdb-server dies or aborts, I can't do anything for TIME_WAIT seconds because I can't start a new gdb-server.

Better yet, point me to the source code so I can fix it myself and submit a patch.

    This is still an (annoying) problem that could be easily fixed by altera.
