Warn if missing debug info for Ada exception catchpoints
This patch should help the user understand why the debugger is not able to insert Ada exception catchpoints when the Ada runtime was stripped of debugging info, as is often the case on many GNU/Linux distros: (gdb) catch exception Your Ada runtime appears to be missing some debugging information. Cannot insert Ada exception catchpoint in this configuration. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_has_this_exception_support): Raise an error if we could find the Ada exception hook in the Ada runtime, but no debugging info for that hook. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp, gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp: Adjust expected output for unsupported case.
