Pedro Alves aacca8a7a9 Fix HP/PA GNU/Linux "long double" format
This:

 $ ./gdb -ex "set architecture hppa1.0" -ex "set osabi GNU/Linux" -ex "ptype 1.0L"

Shows that HPPA/Linux support for long doubles is broken.  It causes
GDB to access memory out of bounds.  With Valgrind, we see:

 The target architecture is assumed to be hppa1.0

The trouble is that hppa_linux_init_abi overrides the default
long_double_bit set by the generic hppa-tdep.c:

  set_gdbarch_long_double_bit (gdbarch, 128);
  set_gdbarch_long_double_format (gdbarch, floatformats_ia64_quad);

with:

  /* On hppa-linux, currently, sizeof(long double) == 8.  There has been
     some discussions to support 128-bit long double, but it requires some
     more work in gcc and glibc first.  */
  set_gdbarch_long_double_bit (gdbarch, 64);

which misses overriding the long_double_format, so we end with a weird
combination of:

  set_gdbarch_long_double_bit (gdbarch, 64);
  set_gdbarch_long_double_format (gdbarch, floatformats_ia64_quad);

Weird because floatformats_ia64_quad's totalsize is longer than 64-bits.

The floatformat conversion routines use the struct floatformat's
totalsize (in bits) to know how much to copy/convert, thus the buffer
overruns.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
