gdbserver with reversed arguments goes into an infinite loop

[Denis PILAT]

I've found that if you revert the argument of gdbserver, means writing 
the program's name before the COMM argument, it goes into an infinite 
loop, and as the CTRL+C does not work, you have to kill the process from 
an other shell.

In gdbserver/server.c, the loop in question does the remote_open on the 
wrong passed argument (argv[1]) which unfortunately is the binary file 
you'd expect to open so remote_open does not exit on error.

I think either we could check that we pass correct argument before using 
start_inferior(), this is executing before the loop. The bellow patch is 
in that sense.

Or we find a way to exit the loop by adding a test in it. May be by 
adding something in remote_open to let it fail.


I'd like your opinion about that
Thanks
