I'm not sure about changing the answer expected; "y or n" is a default question
and there's infrastructure for generating it on GDB already. However, I can
relate to the complaint that the error message is repeated before the corefile
question. Maybe something like:
==
/build/gdb-AqwUtn/gdb-8.0/gdb/linux-nat.c:2010: internal-error: wait returned
unexpected status 0x0
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) y
This is a bug, please report it. For instructions, see:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.
Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) y
==
would be clearer. I'll propose a patch soon to adjust that. Would that work
for you?
