Thanks for taking the time to review this patch.

I've have an updated patch below, highlights,

 - Also include the access size in the error message produced by gdbserver, matching native gdb error message.
 - Don't test for remote targets.  In the gdbserver case the error is not caught by the expect test script so can't be checked.  (I was inspired by the gdb.base/solib-corrupted.exp test).

How's this?


Thanks,
Andrew
