HP-UX 11.11: Removed by Jan: 61a12cfa7b25746914493cc0d94e5053a8492aa5
IRIX 6.5: Removed by Pedro: 3831839c089cf3b65ad6b2efbc608e5a24a40379
OSF/1 5.1: Removed by Pedro: 32a8097ba5dd6ddb71c0fb2fccbac262c371846a
Solaris 7: ???
Cygwin 1.5.x: Unsupported by GDB according to Eli.
mingw: mingw-w64 is compatible as tested by Jan.
MSVC 9: Unsupported by GDB according to Eli.
Interix 3.5: Unsupported by GDB according to Eli.
BeOS: Jan thinks the OS is unsupported by GDB.

Does anyone has Solaris 7 host available?  GDB should complain there during
configure but I guess from configure.host it will not.  Although do we care?

Are there any files that could be removed if Solaris 7 host support gets
removed?  I do not see any.

Otherwise the compilation of GDB will start failing there on getaddrinfo().
Do we care?
