Well, I just took a look and it appears its not quite that simple ;)
TCP/IP is supported, but (only?) for VxWorks programs.

I think maybe this would be slightly too ambitious. It may be better to
use some kind of serial-to-TCP/IP conversion. I imagine the serial support
is more robust than libsocket.

BTW I looked at the gdb 4.16 sources, so maybe things have advanced since
then?
