I have good news for you. KDevelop 5 should be able to work properly
with gdbserver.

The story for how to setup the connection and everything isn't that
nice yet (I'll have to put some more thought into that), but the basic
debugging primitives like breakpoints, stepping, etc. work once you
have established the connection. If you get the chance to try the
KDevelop master branch and it doesn't work, please let me know.

So you should eventually be able to run KDevelop 5 locally and debug
remotely, which is am IMO nicer way to work.

Cheers,
Nicolai
