FWIW, I've pushed a patch upstream to implement IPv6 support for GDB and
gdbserver today.

Bug#754292: gdb: target remote does not accept IPv6 only names

2014-07-09 Thread Michael Richardson 
Package: gdb
Version: 7.4.1+dfsg-0.1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

I typed:
(gdb) target remote lac02.yarn.gatineau.credil.org:9979
lac02.yarn.gatineau.credil.org: unknown host
lac02.yarn.gatineau.credil.org:9979: No such file or directory.

but such a name does exist:
meech-[~] mcr 1009 %host lac02.yarn.gatineau.credil.org
lac02.yarn.gatineau.credil.org has IPv6 address 2001:4830:116e:1::148

it just doesn't have an A record, since, well.. that legacy v4 is no fun.

I worked around by finding the numerical v4 address and using that.
