    Fix failed exec error message
    
    Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00629.html
    
    This fixes the bogus command line in the error message shown when the
    SHELL environment variable points somewhere that's not something that
    resembles a shell:
    
      $ SHELL=/nonexisting gdb /home/pedro/a.out
      (gdb) r
      Starting program: /home/pedro/a.out
     - Cannot exec /home/pedro/a.out -c exec /home/pedro/a.out .
     + Cannot exec /nonexisting -c exec /home/pedro/a.out .
      Error: No such file or directory
      During startup program exited with code 127.
      (gdb)
