Vyacheslav Barinov 1b919490e8 Warn if /proc is not accessible
There's a buildroot where I want to debug a binary, and I tried to
connect to it from outside, but got very weird errors like
architecture mismatch or protocol errors.  At last, after switching on
'--debug' for gdbserver I found a message 'Can't open /proc/pid/'
message and suddenly found that I forgot to mount procfs in my
buildroot.

Make discovering the problem easier by making GDB / GDBserver warn
(even without --debug) if /proc can not be accessed.

Native debugging:

 (gdb) start
 Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x400835: file test.c, line 10.
 Starting program: /tmp/test
 warning: /proc is not accessible.

GDBserver/remote debugging:

 $ ./gdbserver :9999 ./gdbserver
 gdbserver: /proc is not accessible.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
