            Bug ID: 16367
           Summary: Print better error message if SHELL is invalid
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: arjunak234 at gmail dot com

If the SHELL variable is invalid, gdb fails to execute the program and prints
an error message:

"Cannot exec /home/path/to/program -c exec /home/path/to/program"

Instead, gdb should check the SHELL variable and give a better error message
such as "$SHELL not set"
