[Sending to binutils, gdb-patches and gcc-patches, since it touches the
top-level Makefile/configure]
I have my debuginfod library installed in a non-standard location
(/opt/debuginfod), which requires me to set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/debuginfod/lib/pkg-config. If I just set it during
configure:
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/debuginfod/lib/pkg-config ./configure --with-debuginfod
$ make
or
$ ./configure --with-debuginfod PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/debuginfod/lib/pkg-config
$ make
Then PKG_CONFIG_PATH is only present (and ignored) during the top-level
configure. When running make (which runs gdb's and binutils'
configure), PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not set, which results in their configure
script not finding the library:
checking for libdebuginfod >= 0.179... no
configure: error: "--with-debuginfod was given, but libdebuginfod is missing or unusable."
Change the top-level configure/Makefile system to capture the value
passed when configuring the top-level and pass it down to
subdirectories (similar to CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc).
I don't know much about the top-level build system, so I really don't
know if I did this correctly. The changes are:
- Use AC_SUBST(PKG_CONFIG_PATH) in configure.ac, so that
@PKG_CONFIG_PATH@ gets replaced with the actual PKG_CONFIG_PATH value
in config files (i.e. Makefile)
- Add a PKG_CONFIG_PATH Makefile variable in Makefile.tpl, initialized
to @PKG_CONFIG_PATH@
- Add PKG_CONFIG_PATH to HOST_EXPORTS in Makefile.tpl, which are the
variables set when running the sub-configures
I initially added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to flags_to_pass, in Makefile.def, but
I don't think it's needed. AFAIU, this defines the flags to pass down
when calling "make" in subdirectories. We only need PKG_CONFIG_PATH to
be passed down during configure. After that, it's captured in
gdb/config.status, so even if a "make" causes a re-configure later
(because gdb/configure has changed, for example), the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
value will be remembered.
ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add AC_SUBST(PKG_CONFIG_PATH).
* configure: Re-generate.
* Makefile.tpl (HOST_EXPORTS): Pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
(PKG_CONFIG_PATH): New.
* Makefile.in: Re-generate.

Libtool needs to get BSD-format (or MS-format) output out of the system
nm, so that it can scan generated object files for symbol names for
-export-symbols-regex support. Some nms need specific flags to turn on
BSD-formatted output, so libtool checks for this in its AC_PATH_NM.
Unfortunately the code to do this has a pair of interlocking flaws:
- it runs the test by doing an nm of /dev/null. Some platforms
reasonably refuse to do an nm on a device file, but before now this
has only been worked around by assuming that the error message has a
specific textual form emitted by Tru64 nm, and that getting this
error means this is Tru64 nm and that nm -B would work to produce
BSD-format output, even though the test never actually got anything
but an error message out of nm -B. This is fixable by nm'ing *nm
itself* (since we necessarily have a path to it).
- the test is entirely skipped if NM is set in the environment, on the
grounds that the user has overridden the test: but the user cannot
reasonably be expected to know that libtool wants not only nm but
also flags forcing BSD-format output. Worse yet, one such "user" is
the top-level Cygnus configure script, which neither tests for
nor specifies any BSD-format flags. So platforms needing BSD-format
flags always fail to set them when run in a Cygnus tree, breaking
-export-symbols-regex on such platforms. Libtool also needs to
augment $LD on some platforms, but this is done unconditionally,
augmenting whatever the user specified: the nm check should do the
same.
One wrinkle: if the user has overridden $NM, a path might have been
provided: so we use the user-specified path if there was one, and
otherwise do the path search as usual. (If the nm specified doesn't
work, this might lead to a few extra pointless path searches -- but
the test is going to fail anyway, so that's not a problem.)
(Tested with NM unset, and set to nm, /usr/bin/nm, my-nm where my-nm is a
symlink to /usr/bin/nm on the PATH, and /not-on-the-path/my-nm where
*that* is a symlink to /usr/bin/nm.)

Since ld may depend on libctf (if present), and libctf may be relinked
by the installation process, libctf must be installed before ld is,
or the relink may fail if it calls on symbols or symbol versions that do
not exist in any libctf already present on the system. (If none is
present, the copy in the build tree will be automatically used, but
if one *is* present, it may take precedence and break things.)

is not built together with GCC, --enable-pgo-build enables the PGO build:
1. First build with -fprofile-generate.
2. Use "make maybe-check-*" to generate profiling data and pass -i to make
to ignore errors when generating profiling data.
3. Use "make clean" to remove the previous build.
4. Rebuild with -fprofile-use.

together with -fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use. Add '+' to the command

This introduces a new lookup testsuite under libctf, which operates by
compiling (with libtool) a "lookup" .c file that uses libctf to analyze
some other program, then compiling some number of test object files with
CTF and optionally linking them together and running the lookup program
on the test object files (or linked test binary), before diffing the
result much as run_dump_test does.
This lets us test the portions of libctf that are not previously
testable, notably the portions that do lookup on linked output and
that create dynamic dictionaries and then do lookup on them before
writing them out, something that is not tested by the ld-ctf testsuite
because the linker never does this.
A couple of simple tests are added: one testing the functionality of
enum lookups, and one testing that the recently-added commit adding
extra paranoia to incomplete type handling doesn't break linking and
that the result of the link is an (otherwise-impossible) array of
forward type in the shared CTF dict.

I just came across the GDB 10.1 release notes and saw that md5 is still
being used in those. I thought it would be a good idea to instead have a
more modern, secure and wildly available hash function such as SHA256 as
part of the release process.
The changes have been done rather mechnically via sed but executing the
`src-release.sh -b gdb` did work so I am confident about the result.
While this does not directly address the release mails, I was wasn't
able to find the template/script used for those, this is probably still
an improvement.

gnulib: Ensure all libraries are used when building gdb/gdbserver
We now get an error when, at the top level of the build tree, we do
'make distclean'.
The reason for this is that the gnulib directory is cleaned before the
gdb directory, cleaning gnulib deletes Makefile.gnulib.inc from the
gnulib build directory, which is currently pulled in by the gdb
Makefile.in using 'include'.
This commit adds a dependency between distclean-gnulib and both
distclean-gdb and distclean-gdbserver. This means that gdb and
gdbserver will be cleaned before gnulib, as a result the
Makefile.gnulib.inc file should exist when needed.
ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Rebuild.
* Makefile.def: Make distclean-gnulib depend on distclean-gdb and
distclean-gdbserver.
It is quite normal to have headers without library on multilib OSes.

This changes the gdbserver build to use the gdbsupport that was built
for gdb.
gdbserver and gdbreplay now must use WIN32APILIBS (aka -lws2_32).

This changes gdbsupport so that it no longer relies on BFD. This is a
precursor to making gdbserver use the already-built gdbsupport,
because building gdbserver should not require BFD to be built.
The most notable change here is that CORE_ADDR is always a 64-bit
type. This makes it so that gdb acts as if it were always built in
64-bit mode.
