I have:
GNU gdb 6.5
Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are
welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.
Type "show copying" to see the conditions.

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=alpha--netbsd"...
(gdb) 
(gdb) help target
Connect to a target machine or process.
The first argument is the type or protocol of the target machine.
Remaining arguments are interpreted by the target protocol.  For more
information on the arguments for a particular protocol, type
`help target ' followed by the protocol name.

List of target subcommands:

target async -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target core -- Use a core file as a target
target exec -- Use an executable file as a target
target extended-async -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target extended-remote -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target remote -- Use a remote computer via a serial line

Type "help target" followed by target subcommand name for full documentation.
Command name abbreviations are allowed if unambiguous.

no "kvm" here :(
