commit fef3cb9f3aa84018d10866f89228ae3f23e5ca7e
Author: Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Apr 6 15:57:08 2016 +0200

    Print the "file" command suggestion in exec_file_locate_attach
    
    currently:
    	$ gdbserver-7.9 :1234 true &
    	$ gdb -q -ex 'target remote :1234' # that -q is not relevant here
    	Remote debugging using :1234
    	warning: Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified
    	try using the "file" command first.
    	0x00007ffff7ddcc80 in ?? ()
    	(gdb) b main
    	No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
    	Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) _
    
    Provide more suggestive message to use the "file" command.
