Why does my nios2-elf-gdb process terminates unexpectedly with error code 256 when attempting to start a debug session in the Nios II Integrated Development Environment (IDE)?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Check your system PATH environment variable.  If there are multiple semi-colons at the end of your path, remove the extra semi-colons.  Also verify that the total length of your system PATH environment variable is less than 1,200 characters.

After modifying your PATH environment variable, restart the Nios® II IDE, and the Debug... menu choice should work.
