Make gdbserver work with filename-only binaries
Simon mentioned on IRC that, after the startup-with-shell feature has
been implemented on gdbserver, it is not possible to specify a
filename-only binary, like:
$ gdbserver :1234 a.out
/bin/bash: line 0: exec: a.out: not found
During startup program exited with code 127.
Exiting
This happens on systems where the current directory "." is not listed
in the PATH environment variable. Although including "." in the PATH
variable is a possible workaround, this can be considered a regression
because before startup-with-shell it was possible to use only the
filename (due to reason that gdbserver used "exec*" directly).
The idea of the patch is to verify if the program path provided by the
user (or by the remote protocol) contains a directory separator
character. If it doesn't, it means we're dealing with a filename-only
binary, so we call "gdb_abspath" to properly expand it and transform
it into a full path. Otherwise, we leave the program path untouched.
This mimicks the behaviour seen on GDB (look at "openp" and
"attach_inferior", for example).
I am also submitting a testcase which exercises the scenario described
above. This test requires gdbserver to be executed in a different CWD
than the original, so I also created a helper function, "with_cwd" (on
testsuite/lib/gdb.exp), which takes care of cd'ing into and out of the
specified dir.
Built and regtested on BuildBot, without regressions.
