Andrew Burgess 1d6f5804da gdb: warn of slow remote file reading only after a successful open
While working on a later patch in this series, I noticed that GDB
would print the message:

  Reading /path/to/file from remote target...

Even when /path/to/file doesn't exist on the remote target.

GDB does indeed try to open /path/to/file, but I'm not sure we really
need to tell the user unless we actually manage to open the file, and
plan to read content from it.

If we consider how GDB probes for separate debug files, we can attempt
to open multiple possible files, most of them will not exist.  When we
are native debugging we don't bother telling the user about each file
we're checking for, we just announce any file we finally use.

I think it makes sense to do a similar thing for remote files.

So, in remote_target::remote_hostio_open(), I'd like to move the block
of code that prints the above message to after the open call has been
made, and we should only print the message if the open succeeds.

Now GDB only tells the user about files that we actually open and read
from the remote.

		   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

the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the

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