Hi,

patch for the IPv6 support according to the Daniel Jacobowitz's recommendation:
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-09/msg00194.html

I am primarily interested if the mainline is going to use this "tcp6:" syntax.

gdb(1) client: As before - "tcp6:" prefix support, "tcp:" extended by IPv6.

gdbserver(1)/gdbreplay(1): Syntax "fd<in><out>" - like:
	socat EXEC:'gdbserver fd34 emacs foo.txt',fdin=3,fdout=4 'TCP-LISTEN:2345'

The first patch "gdb-cvs-IPv6-fds-plus.patch" adds both features listed above.

The second patch "gdb-cvs-IPv6-hostport-minus.patch" removes the obsoleted
"host:port" syntax from gdbserver(1)/gdbreplay(1).


Regards,
Jan
