RE: [rfa/rfc] Build libcommon.a for gdb and gdbserver

["Pierre Muller" <pierre.muller@ics-cnrs.unistra.fr>]

 I finally managed to get it to compile successfully on my 
--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 
configuration,
with the following changes on top of Tom's patch

(Warning the diff output is against cvs HEAD,
but I cut out the uninteresting part of the cvonfigure change)

  It basically just takes the same trick as in
gdb/Makefile.in
to read in ../intl/config.intl,
but adapted to gdb/common subdirectory.
the top_builddir make variable is used by that script 
and must thus be set inside 
common/Makefile.in

  I also added some CFLAGS related changes,
but have no idea if those are correct, at least
the CFLAGS from parent directory is now used 
when compiling signal.o object.

  I hope this can be useful to find out
a cleaner solution to this problem,
