Debugging Go via GDB with Vim (not gvim)

I am starting to get into Go, as it seems like an interesting language for web service development. I have historically created a new Ubuntu Server 14.04 instance for each of my language groups, and have kept the same principle for Go.

I have installed all the usual tools (Syntastic, YCM, NERDTree, ctags, you get the idea) and have got a great writing environment set up with some help from vim-go.

Now, I want to be able to get debugging set up in a similar way, using GDB, and am getting stuck on what the best tooling to use here is.

It seems as if Clewn is a great tool, but as I am using SSH to the development environment, I can't necessarily use gvim.

I basically just need a GDB tie-in to vim (not gvim). I am using vim 7.4 as per apt-get via ubuntu universe, and will be more than happy to build from source if some compatibility has not included.

You can use dbg.vim.

Once the plugin installed, you can setup your breakpoints and use shortcuts to show value of variable under the cursor, etc.
