Simon Marchi 901e4e8d5c gdb/remote: send qSymbol to all inferiors on startup
start_remote_1 calls remote_check_symbols after things are set up to
give the remote side a chance to look up symbols.  One call to
remote_check_symbols sets the "general thread", if needed, and sends one
qSymbol packet.  However, a remote target could have more than one
process on initial connection, and this would send a qSymbol for only
one of these processes.

Change it to iterate on all the target's inferiors and send a qSymbol
packet for each one.

I tested this by changing gdbserver to spawn two processes on startup:

    diff --git a/gdbserver/server.cc b/gdbserver/server.cc
    index 33c42714e72..9b682e9f85f 100644
    --- a/gdbserver/server.cc
    +++ b/gdbserver/server.cc

           target_create_inferior (program_path.get (), program_args);
    +      target_create_inferior (program_path.get (), program_args);

           /* We are now (hopefully) stopped at the first instruction of
             the target process.  This assumes that the target process was

Instead of hacking GDBserver, it should also be possible to test this by
starting manually two inferiors on an "extended-remote" connection,
disconnecting from GDBserver (with the disconnect command), and
re-connecting.

I was able to see qSymbol being sent for each inferior:

      [remote] Sending packet: $Hgp828dc.828dc#1f

      [remote] Sending packet: $qSymbol::6e70746c5f76657273696f6e#4d
      [remote] Packet received: OK

Note that there would probably be more work to be done to fully support
this scenario, more things that need to be done for each discovered
inferior instead of just for one.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
