RDI over ethernet failure message

[Shaun Jackman <shaunj@gray-interfaces.com>]

The RDI over ethernet failure message should be a little more user friendly.
Also, it shouldn't exit gdb if it's unable to connect.

GNU gdb 5.0
[clip]
This GDB was configured as "--host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-elf"...
(gdb) ta rdi e=192.168.1.99
Fatal error: ethernet send failure [Invalid argument]
[gdb exits]


The serial RDI message makes a lot more sense.

GNU gdb 5.0
[clip]
This GDB was configured as "--host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-elf"...
(gdb) ta rdi /dev/ttyS0
RDI_open: undefined error message, should reset target
RID_open failed
(gdb)

Ordinarily you have to CC the `-gnats' address to get the message in
the PR.  Unfortunately sometimes Gnats sends out a message to (eg)
gdb-prs@... and then if you reply to all you don't CC gdb-gnats.

Shaun,

I don't have any hardware that talks RDI over Ethernet arounf here,
so I cannot reproduce the situation nor test any changes.

Won't you consider submitting a patch yourself?

Regards,
Fernando

I'd be more than happy to. I've never contributed to a GNU project
before though. Could you point me to a "new contributors" faq?
Is it reasonable to diff against gdb-5.0 or do I need go to CVS?

Cheers,
Shaun
