Now I get:

(gdb) target  remote /tmp/QQQ
get_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
set_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Remote debugging using /tmp/QQQ
get_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
set_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Bogus trace status reply from target: qTStatus


gdb assumes that a file name given to "taret remote" is
a tty.  It should probably check this with isatty before
applying ioctls to the fd; or use ser-pipe.c for named
pipes as well.

I'm changing the bug description as the SEGV problem
seems to be fixed.
