FYI, I am not debugging over a "slow serial link". I've been testing
this on an Altera 3c120 board (Nios II) with 10/100 Ethernet; it
NFS-mounts the sysroot under test and before now that has worked fine
with no obvious responsiveness issues.

Is it really user-friendly to make the user either wait 4 minutes or
kill GDB through a separate terminal before they can act on the hint?
