GDB 10 branching - 2020-07-03 Update

[Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>]

Hi everyone,

Here is a the current status in terms of the GDB 10 release branching.
As you can see, we had a significant number of new items added since
last time.

As always, let us know if you have comments on those, or if there are
other issues you think we should be aware of.

Thank you!

Fixed Since the Previous Update:
--------------------------------

  * [TomDV (reported by LuisM)] <PR gdb/26175>
    Regression on testsuite due to changes to default_target_compile
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26175

Added Since the Last Update:
----------------------------

  * [RainerO]
    Unify Solaris procfs and largefile handling
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169977.html

    Seems to require a fair amount of coordination. binutils seems
    on board; what about GCC (for the part in config/)?

  * [Pedro/Simon (reported by SimonM)] <PR gdb/26199>
    GDB goes in busy loop when interrupting non-stop program
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26199

  * [??? (reported by Simon)]
    Add support for Guile 2.2
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169936.html

    Looking for a GDB Maintainer feeling competent enough to review
    the patch. If not, I suggest we go with Simon's approach of
    a basic review for the generic requirements and check for obvious
    red flags.

  * [SebastianH (review by AndrewB] <PR sim/26194>
    sim/igen: Fix linker error with GCC-10/-fno-common
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170083.html

    Approved, so push should be imminent.

  * [SebastianH (review by AndrewB]
    sim/ppc: Fix linker error with GCC-10/-fno-common
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170084.html

    Approved, so push should be imminent.

  * [EliZ]
    binutils: libctf build failure on Windows with mingw.org's MinGW
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170042.html

  * [ChristianB (reported by Eli)]
    Update gnulib to include fixes needed for mingw.org's MinGW
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169987.html

    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170059.html

  * [EliZ]
    gdbserver: incorrect socklen_t configure test on mingw.org's MinGW
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170019.html

Other Ongoing Items:
--------------------

  * [AndrewB]
    Fix Python unwinders and inline frames
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169789.html

    Difficult issue to solve. Andrew mentioned he would appreciate
    feedback from others who might be familiar with this area
    (inline frames hanlding), and just sent another ping about it,
    warning that it would be pushed in a next couple of days if
    no comments. Andrew provided in his commit revlog a very detailed
    explanation of the situation.

  * [TomT/HannesD] <PR win32/25302>
    Mismatching fstat() function calls in gdb_bfd_open() and cache_bstat()
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25302
