I feel it even would be easier to do than using gdbserver, as - after 
setting up the SSH connection - the IDE would just use the same commands 
with the remote gdb as it would with a local one and there would not 
need to be a dedicated X86->ARM-Cross - "gdbremote" executable on the 
IDE site not a (rather uncommon) GDBServer executable on the ARM site.

The big advantage of a GDBRemote/GDBServer setup is that it can use a 
serial interface and that it uses up very little RAM on the ARM Site. 
But I feel that this nowadays is not very important any more.
