[hppa] GDB doesn't build with tui

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello,

GDB no longer builds on HP/UX 11.00 since TUI is built in by default.
The obvious work-around is to configure GDB --without-tui.

The error we get is during the link: the wborder symbol is undefined.

This triggers a question: Which version of curses are we planning on
supporting. For instance, on our machine, we currently have the system
curses library. Do we intend to support the system curses libraries,
or only say ncurses?

(BTW: it's bizarre to see that 'man wborder' on HP/UX reveals that it
thinks that this function is defined, and then we can even see it
in /usr/include/curses.h - albeit protected by a #ifdef -, but then
the symbol is missing from /usr/lib/libcurses.1... Will have a look,
but I'm not familiar with curses).

i386-*-solaris2.9 fails for the same reason.  Here the problem is that
the header files are broken when _SYCALL32 is defined.  I'm working on
a solution.

HP-UX has several curses libs: Hcurses, Xcurses?

It's even more bizarre, since the TUI was contributed by HP.

I found the library where the symbol is defined: libcur_colr.sl.
I'm working on a patch as well.

It looks like it's using Hcurses.

FYI: I think I got the same error on sparc-solaris 2.8:

<<

                 from /usr/include/termio.h:13,

And termios.h contains:

        #if defined(_SYSCALL32)
        struct ppsclockev32 {
                struct timeval32 tv;
                uint32_t serial;
        };
        #endif /* _SYSCALL32 */
