Andrew Burgess ea4c968ce5 gdb: avoid '//' in filenames when searching for debuginfo
I spotted that the gdb.base/sysroot-debug-lookup.exp test that I added
recently actually had a KPASS when run with the
native-extended-gdbserver board.  This was an oversight when adding
the test.

The failures in this test, when using the 'unix' board, are logged as
bug PR gdb/31804.  The problem appears to be caused by the use of the
child_path function in find_separate_debug_file.

What happens on the 'unix' board is that the file is specified to GDB
with a target: prefix, however GDB spots that the target filesystem is
local to GDB and so opens the file without a target: prefix.  When we
call into find_separate_debug_file the DIR and CANON_DIR arguments,
which are computed from the objfile_name() no longer have a target:
prefix.

However, in this test if the file was opened with a target: prefix,
then the sysroot also has a target: prefix.  When child_path is called
it looks for a common prefix between CANON_DIR (from the objfile_name)
and the sysroot.  However, the sysroot still has the target: prefix,
which means the child_path() call fails and returns nullptr.

What happens in the native-extended-gdbserver case is that GDB doesn't
see the target filesystem as local.  Now the filename retains the
target: prefix, which means that in the child_path() call both the
sysroot and the CANON_DIR have a target: prefix, and so the
child_path() call succeeds.  This allows GDB to progress, try some
additional paths, and then find the debug information.

So, this commit changes gdb.base/sysroot-debug-lookup.exp to expect
the test to succeed when using the native-extended-gdbserver protocol.

This leaves one KFAIL when using the native-extended-gdbserver board,
we find the debug information but (apparently) find it in the wrong
file.  What's happening is that when GDB builds the filename for the
debug information we end up with a '//' string as a directory
separator, the test regexp only expects a single separator.

Instead of just fixing the test regexp, I've updated the path_join
function in gdbsupport/pathstuff.{cc,h} to allow for absolute paths to
appear in the argument list after the first argument.  This means it's
now possible to do this:

  auto result = path_join ("/a/b/c", "/d/e/f");
  gdb_assert (result == "/a/b/c/d/e/f");

Additionally I've changed path_join so that it avoids adding
unnecessary directory separators.  In the above case when the two
paths were joined GDB only added a single separator between 'c' and
'd'.  But additionally, if we did this:

  auto result = path_join ("/a/b/c/", "/d/e/f");
  gdb_assert (result == "/a/b/c/d/e/f");

We'd still only get a single separator.

With these changes to path_join I can now make use of this function in
find_separate_debug_file.  With this done I now have no KFAIL when
using the native-extended-gdbserver board.

After this commit we still have 2 KFAIL when not using the
native-gdbserver and unix boards, these will be addressed in the next
commit.

		   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
