In all cases I would also find OK to just print "Latest stable FSF gdbserver
version supports that.".  Just to print what the user should do, not only what
the problem is.

Besides that GDB also already prints 14 lines of useless text upon its start
and ~200 lines of useless "Reading symbols ..." text during attachment
- in a comparison with few more lines indicating a real problem.

That is all mathematically correct but (I think) not helpful for a casual user.
