As I said off-list, I don't know if there's a list of GDB BSPs, but I
know of at least:
powerpc/psim
mips/jmr3904
moxie/moxiesim
arm/gdbarmsim
sh/shsim

I have no idea what any of their statuses are or if they are expected
to work. The first step would be building them and see if they run
anything. After that, you should look at the existing tester scripts for
some targets:
  rtems-tools.git/tester/rtems/testing/bsps
I see scripts for most of what I listed above, so the next step would
be trying to run them via tester and see if it works.

BTW: Did I mention adding these to tester, or did I mention creating
build sets for them? Anyway, I think the GDB simulator builds by
default with the toolchain, so there is no difference between a BSP
buildset (such as for jmr3904) and one that supports running on GDB.
At least, I think so. It is worth verifying.
