Please use "file name". GNU coding standards frown on using
"pathname" in this context.

What is "only applicable to certain targets", the packet or the fact
that R is the file name of the exec'ed process?

I also think you should mention the fact that gdbserver supports
follow-exec-mode in the "Forks" node, as the text there does sound as
if this is only supported in native debugging.
