Simulator dv-sockser.o patch testing

[Joel Sherrill <joel.sherrill@oarcorp.com>]

`Hi

I tested three configurations:

+ gdb 7.5.91 as baseline
+ gdb head with my last acinclude.m4 patch
+ gdb head with Mike's acinclude.m4 patch

I tested these 10 targets [1]:

bfin-elf cris-elf frv-elf iq2000-elf lm32-elf m32r-elf
m68hc11-elf mips-elf mn10300-elf sh64-elf

with: (1) no simulator option, (2) --disable-sim-hardware
and (3) --enable-sim-hardware

This is a total of 30 builds.

gdb 7.5.91 and my patch built 27 of the 30 and failed to
bfin-elf, m68hc11-elf, and mn10300-elf with --disable-sim-hardware.
Mike's patch let them all build.

The only discrepancy in the make check summary was that
WITH Mike's patch cris-elf with --enable-sim-hardware has this:

=== sim Summary ===
# of expected passes 304
# of untested testcases 136

In the 7.5.91 log, the 136 was 170.

I know absolutely nothing about cris and only ran this because
the configure file changed after running autoconf. Nothing specific
to the cris was changed. This could be something else going on.

As far as I can tell, Mike's patch is an improvement over mine
and what was in 7.5.91. If he regenerates the configure scripts
that need it, I would be perfectly happy with his patch being
applied.

This is the set of files which were touched by his patch or
regenerated in my tree:

#    modified:   sim/bfin/configure
#    modified:   sim/common/acinclude.m4
#    modified:   sim/cris/configure
#    modified:   sim/frv/configure
#    modified:   sim/iq2000/configure
#    modified:   sim/lm32/configure
#    modified:   sim/m32r/configure
#    modified:   sim/m68hc11/configure
#    modified:   sim/mips/configure
#    modified:   sim/mn10300/configure
#    modified:   sim/sh64/configure

Mike, can you commit yours? Please. :)

[1] I forgot to include mipstx39-elf in the targets built against
all three versions. I did run it against Mike's by hand and it is OK.
