This "unexpected warning" is also the one that causes the TUI to crash 
under Solaris.
See the thread "TUI + gdbserver broken?" at url :
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2007-03/msg00169.html)

Removing that warning (I've tried that as well) will remove that problem 
too, but it's only a side effect. I think we should fix both separately 
but when you'll have removed think warning, the TUI bug will become 
invisible.
