Yes, some sort of tcp/ip connection.

I did the whole thing because we need it here at work. And we cannot
use gdbserver because it is not ported to our server platform.

As long as you can automatically start gdbserver on the remote
system it should be possible with similar techniques to do remote
debugging. And there could be some config choices about what
to start on the remote machine (gdb or gdbserver) and how to
start it (rsh, ssh, rexec, etc).

I am not sure if I understand enough of gideon up to now to implement
it; and I also do not want to fumble in somebody else's code if not
invited ;-)
