When building gdb with on AArch64 with g++ 11.1.0 (and some preceding
versions too), -O2 and -fsanitize=address, I get this error.

Note that _FORTIFY_SOURCE changes the message a bit, but I get a similar
error if I use -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0.
I am pretty sure it's spurious and might be related to this GCC bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88780
From what I can see, we are copying from a static 108 bytes long buffer
(the global array agent_socket_name) to a 108 bytes long array,
sockaddr_un::sun_path. I don't see anything wrong.
Still, it would make things easier if we didn't see this error. Change
the code to check that the source string length is smaller than the
destination buffer (including space for the NULL byte) and use strcpy.
For anybody who would like to try to reproduce, the full command line
is:
