Status on cross builds

Just as a sanity check before creating the 6.4 branch, I ran the
gdb_mbuild.sh script. Here are the results:

* Build fails, but succeeds if we remove -Werror:
arm-elf: compile failed
avr: compile failed
frv-elf: compile failed
h8300-elf: compile failed
ia64-linux-gnu: compile failed
m32r-elf: compile failed
m68hc11-elf: compile failed
mips-elf: compile failed
sh-elf: compile failed
v850-elf: compile failed

Andrew Stubbs just committed a patch so sh-elf should now compile
with -Werror.

* Build fails, even without -Werror:
ms1-elf: compile failed
configure: error: "*** Gdb does not support target ms1-unknown-elf"

* Build fails, even without -Werror:
sh64-elf: compile failed
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../sim/sh64/libsim.a', needed by `gdb'. Stop.

I haven't had time to look at the two real build failures, but I don't
think we should delay the branch for them. Similarly, being able to build
all the cross configurations above without warnings is not, in my opinion,
a must have for the release. It would be nice to have everything fixed in
head, though.
