Debug Symbols from GDB Server

I want to debug an application that is running remotely. My
problem is
that I don't have a copy of the symbol's file at the client,
just on the
host. I am also not able to use the command "remote get
targetfile
hostfile".

Does anyone know how to retrieve the debug symbols (and load
the
symbols' tables) from the target by GDB server? 

Thanks.

Sorry, this is not presently supported.  If you want symbols
they must
be on the host.

Can't be done.  You need to somehow get a copy of the
remote symbol file onto the host where you run gdb.

That's just how it's done.   ;-/
