I've updated https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Systems with this info,
and removed HP-UX from the list too.

I'm under the impression that we had already dropped support
for Solaris 7 a long time ago. Or maybe it was just that Joel
announced that he could no longer test it, or something like that.
Joel?

At least GCC dropped support for older Solaris too.
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html says:

"Support for Solaris 9 has been removed in GCC 4.10. Support for Solaris 8 has been
removed in GCC 4.8. Support for Solaris 7 has been removed in GCC 4.6."
