Neither "sockethost" nor "gdb,sockethost" is honored currently.

<snip>

   # Export the host:port pair.
   set gdbport $debughost$portnum

   # Fire off the debug agent.  This flavour of gdbserver takes as
   # arguments the port information, the name of the executable file to
   # be debugged, and any arguments.
   set gdbserver_command "$gdbserver :$portnum $gdbserver_server_exe
</snip>

The hostname isnt passed to the gdbserver command.  

Why is it gdb,socketport and sockethost?!? I think it makes sense to name the two
variables in the same way. They are a pair that belongs together.
