Sorry for chiming in late, but IMO this change is a step backwards:
the new warning is much more puzzling than the old one.  The old one
at least told what was the problem, the new one looks like entirely
unrelated (unless you are privy to GDB internals).

How about something like

  Cannot set read/access watchpoints without hardware watchpoint support.
