[RFA] gdbadmin/ss/gdb_find.sh cleanup

I looked at gdb_find.sh script and discovered
that some of the excluded files do not exist anymore.

The patch below creates no changes on the ARI output
for me.

The new version of gdb_find.sh is then only:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> `cat gdb_find.sh`
#!/bin/sh

# A find that prunes files that GDB users shouldn't be interested in.

find "$@" \
-name signals -prune -o \
-name testsuite -prune -o \
-name gdbserver -prune -o \
-name gnulib -prune -o \
-name rdi-share -prune -o \
-name osf-share -prune -o \
-name nlm -prune -o \
-name '*-stub.c' -prune -o \
-name '*-exp.c' -prune -o \
-name 'sh64*' -prune -o \
-name remote-mips.c -prune -o \
-type f -name '*.[lyhc]' -print

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> end of `cat gdb_find.sh`

Is this patch OK?

I perfectly understand why *-stub.c patterns are excluded,
*-exp.c patterns should not even appear in a distribution of gdb sources,
but this only also doesn't hurt, I am more curious about
'sh64*' and 'remote-mips.c'
sh64* covers
gdb/sh64-tdep.c file
and
config/sh64 directory.

Why are those patterns excluded?
Who are the maintainers of these files?
Should we also remove those two lines?

(I tried removing these two patterns also and I do get
some more warnings in that case).
