GUD uses make-comint which uses start-process i.e. it's asynchronous so
it doesn't use call-process.

I don't see why gud-%s-massage-args should change.  In any case
gud-gdb-massage-args has been deleted.  There only seems to be one
variation of gud-find-file now (gud-sdb-find-file) but these are
basically find-file which appears to be fundamental to TRAMP.  I would
guess it just needs fiddling with arguments.

I'll check out your link.

I'll dig out an ethernet cable.  Using localhost is too confusing because
I'm not sure if things are happening locally or through TRAMP.
