I did not exercise that, but did not discard it either. I was attempting 
to solve one problem at a time. There may be a failure there too.

If you're attempting to attach to a remote process via a remote 
gdbserver, then GDB is already connected to gdbserver by the time it 
issues a vAttach request, no?

If so, then it is not as problematic as not being able to connect to the 
target at all, but still wrong.

In any case, GDB should honor the user option of not using a symbol file 
at all for debugging processes that are already running.
