[RFA]: Compile Ada language files in gdb

[RFA]: Compile Ada language files in gdb

Hi!

The following patch adds the Ada specific files to gdb.
These files build completely and allow to have a support of Ada in gdb.

Tested by configuring on i686 linux with ./configure --enable-tui

Tested the resulting i686 gdb on an Ada program compiled by gcc 3.3
(I had to 'set language ada' and the result was reasonable when comparing
to the C++ support).

Can someone approve this patch?

Ok... it breaks the -Werror because some of the Ada support files produce compilation
warnings.  But, it ensures that those files are kept up-to-date which was
not the case.  This will also allow people to improve and fix Ada support as well :-)

Thanks,
	Stephane

Well, it's nice that they compile, but I fear this does not by itself
enable Ada support.  I know, we've been promising to get this fixed
for awhile.  Just a bit more patience, please.  The last time I
submitted a patch to start this process, the reviewer (Andrew?)
suggested that it would be nice to keep Ada-specific tests out of
generic files.  This has turned out to be rather surprisingly
involved, but that journey is now coming to an end.
