  This patch enables gdbserver to use Unix domain sockets if
the TCP sockets is not allowed to use. Wit this patch, user can
use "gdbserver +debug-socket --attach 123" to use Unix domain
sockets.

Thanks.

This is larger than what we can accept without a copyright
assignment with the FSF -- I looked at the records and
couldn't find one.  Let me know if you'd like to get that started.

We'll also need, at least:

- A gdb manual update.
- A gdbserver --help update
- NEWS entry
- ChangeLog entry

See [1] for more details.

A couple offhand questions:

- How do you plan on using this from the gdb side?

- Is there a reason for picking "+" over some other way / syntax?

Sorry, I notice now that I got confused here -- you're already covered
by Google's blanket copyright assignment.

Thanks,
