KDevelop doesn't log that it has established a TCP connection to the gdbserver, though I don't know about the exact internal error. My suspicion is microblaze-uclinux-gdb is too old. When starting with -nw on command line it shows:

mb-uclinux-gdb is specifically tweaked to target microblaze (and 
uclinux).  It knows, for example, the opcodes to write to MicroBlaze 
memory to trigger a bsoft breakpoint.  A mainline gdb won't know about this.

The most recent version of mb-gdb is 6.5 - newer than what's in 
PetaLinux but not the 6.7 you are seeking.

Cheers,

John
