Gary Benson 1b6e6f5c7f Access executable from remote system when first inferior appears
This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument
try_open_exec.  If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt
to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main
executable is open already.  Callers are updated appropriately.

With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a
"target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot"
or "file" commands are required, e.g.

  bash$ gdb -q
  (gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh
  Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh
  Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166
  stdin/stdout redirected
  Remote debugging using stdio
  Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash...

One testcase required updating as a result of this commit.  The test
checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main
executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main
executable over the remote protocol.  The test was updated to inhibit
this new behavior.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec.
	If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as
	the main executable if no main executable is open already.
	All callers updated.
	* NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and
	retrieval of executable + files from remote targets.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo (Connecting to a Remote Target): Mention that
	GDB can access program files from remote targets that support
	qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing
	the main executable over the remote protocol.

		   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.
