commit 47a536d940d2f2bccfec51539b857da06ebc429e
Author: Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Aug 29 16:11:45 2019 -0400

    Remove "\nError: " suffix from nat/fork-inferior.c:trace_start_error warning message
    
    Rationale: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-08/msg00651.html
    
    This very simple patch removes the "\nError: " suffix from the warning
    message printed by nat/fork-inferior.c:trace_start_error.  This proved
    to just pollute the screen, causing things like:
    
      Starting program: /usr/bin/true
      warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
      Error:
      warning: ptrace: Permission denied
    
    This "Error: " string is not useful at all, and can confuse things,
    therefore let's just remove it and simplify the resulting messages:
    
      Starting program: /usr/bin/true
      warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
      warning: ptrace: Permission denied
