Is remote debugging really very different? at least if it is using gdb? My 
daily work is with embedded systems and the only difference between them is in 
the way i launch gdb. For native apps, i execute "gdb path/to/app" and with 
remote system "arm-none-eabi-gdb -x path/to/gdbinit path/to/app".

Rest is all the same it seems. I recently tried debugging a remote target 
using kdev4 and it did not work. I did not explore further but it does not 
seem like a great deal as long as one can configure the gdb executable and 
some launch parameters. I did try that in the gdb configuration, but it did 
not seems to work and i don't know why. It works fine in kdev3.
