Rainer Orth c8693053f8 Unify Solaris procfs and largefile handling
GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:

* On Solaris 11.4/x86:

In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
                 from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
 #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
  ^~~~~

* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.

The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:

* There are two versions of the procfs interface:

** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
   either gdb or binutils.

** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.

* There are two headers one can possibly include:

** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
   _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...

** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
   /proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.

* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:

** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
   compilations when the large-file environment was active
   (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).

** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
   structured /proc.

So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris.  As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.

Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris.  config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE.  Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.

To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris.  So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.

This patch addresses all this as follows:

* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
  _STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
  files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
  affected sources.

* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
  -U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables.  It had
  been far easier to have just

  #undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS

  in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
  commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
  if large-file support is disabled.  I found no way around this and
  putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
  and gdb seemed way more invasive.

* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
  disable largefile support if really needed.  To do so, it checks if
  <sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined.  If it
  doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
  disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
  conflict.

  What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
  originally caused the disabling not to take place.  Since AC_PLUGINGS
  does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
  Solaris), the disabling never happened.

  I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
  support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
  agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value.  Unfortunately, that's not
  enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
  which includes off_t arguments.  So to fully disable large-file
  support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
  and libstdc++-v3.  This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
  disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.

The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).  Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

		   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.
