   I want to do remote debugging of applications on an 
   embedded Linux target. I can't run gdb on the target
   in some scenarios due to memory limitations. (The embedded
   target is self-contained an boots from 2 MB flash memory).

Cool...

   Has anyone done any work in this area ??? (It seems that at
   the very least it would require a remote version of ptrace.)

Check out gdbserver, in gdb/gdbserver.  It's basically a little
proxy for ptrace, it makes the ptrace calls, and communicates
with the host GDB via the standard remote protocol (target remote
or target extended-remote).
