Title:
  [GDB] No socket file connection support

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

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.

  Here's the commit link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-
  gdb.git;a=commit;h=c1168a2f66553cd4730931cf59e3be8378a1a03f
