Hi I'm using tramp to successfully transparently edit remote files however I 
also want to compile and debug them from inside emacs.  How do I do this?

I'm wondering if there is a way to 'point' the emacs gdb process to a shell 
that is currently running as a process 'inside'(?) emacs.  Then I could use 
eshell to connect to a remote machine, and then issue either a gdb command in 
eshell and somehow have emacs-gdb take control of the buffer, or issue a gdb 
command in emacs and have it issue the command to the eshell (so the remote 
gdb will start).    

Thanks,
Ben
