Most of what I'll say comes from either running gdb and looking at what
it supports or browsing the info file.  Note that I never have gotten 
remote debugging to work.

Run gdb and look at the targets it support.  2 of them are serial remote
(remote and extended-remote).  So it looks like gdb itself can target over the
serial port.  

Looking at info file it says that they provide gdb stubs that you must 
link in to your program for it to work.  They are provided with the gdb
source (don't know if DJs package has them).
