I'm working on source code on a remote machine with multiple make
targets. While having one of the source files open and with focus in
that window, I hit M-x gdb and choose the install path
gdb --annotate=3 /opt/product/sbin/product for it to execute. It opens
up gdb and in that buffer it says 

Current directory is /opt/product/sbin/
...
No such file or directory.

This gave me an idea. I ran gdb and this time told it to launch gdb
--annotate=3 /ssh:devmachine:/opt/product/sbin/product. 

gdb runs and successfully connects to the proper machine. I still get
a "No such file or directory error," but at this point, if I load the
file by hand 'file /opt/product/sbin/product' I can run the file. If I
attempt to step through the file by pressing s in the *gud-product*
buffer though, it steps through in the same way it would from the
command line.
