I think the design of current build_target_command_list is not right.
It use null_command_or_parse_error that close with
build_target_condition_list.
For the condition, the commands of agent is same with gdb side. So
when it got fail or NULL. Agent can go back to let GDB handle this
condition. So it have null_condition_or_parse_error.
But for commands, the commands of agent is not support by GDB side
(agent-printf). So even if it go back to GDB, it still cannot be
handle. So I think throw error in build_target_command_list is
better.
I will post patch to fix it later.
Thanks,
Hui
