I had been testing GCC 6.1 on the RHEL s390x system and the buildbot
apparently picked up that compiler, which generated additional
warnings that were treated as errors. GCC 6 apparently finds more
warnings in GDB, which needs to be addressed in GDB.

The AIX system has not changed, so some change to GDB broke the build
on AIX.  It's warning about missing declarations. Is this related to
the C++ change?

Thanks, David
