Subject: meaningful error message in gdbserver
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 19:04:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0508311929060.17751-100000@server.ies-hungary.intra> (raw)

Hi,

I had a long day fighting with remote debugging, until I found out that my
libpthread and libthread_db versions didn't match. So I created the patch
below that makes gdbserver more verbose when failing, maybe it can save
some time for somebody in the future.
