[Bug 1901026] Re: [GDB] No socket file connection support

[Luis]

I gave this a try and, unfortunately, it didn't work right. It seems
there may be more patches require to make this work. I'm investigating
what those are.

Title:
  [GDB] No socket file connection support

Status in gdb package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gdb source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  GDB on Ubuntu 18.04 (GNU gdb (Ubuntu 8.1-0ubuntu3.2)
  8.1.0.20180409-git) does not support connecting to a remote target via
  a socket file.

  This is the error we get:

  (gdb) target remote /run/user/1000/at-spi2-QTZBS0/socket
  /run/user/1000/at-spi2-QTZBS0/socket: No such device or address.

  Commit c1168a2f66553cd4730931cf59e3be8378a1a03f enables this in GDB.
  It would be nice to have it backported.
