Eldar Abusalimov f517c1805a configure: Fix test for fs_base/gs_base in <sys/user.h>
Make <sys/types.h> be included prior to including <sys/user.h>.

glibc versions older than 2.14 use __uintNN_t types within certain
structures defined in <sys/user.h> probably assuming these types are
defined prior to including the header. This results in the following
`configure` feature test compilation error that makes it think that
`struct user_regs_struct` doesn't have `fs_base`/`gs_base` fields,
althouh it does.

Recent glibc versions don't use typedef'ed int types in <sys/user.h>,
thus allowing it to be included as is
(glibc commit d79a9c949c84e7f0ba33e87447c47af833e9f11a).
However there're still some distros alive that use older glibc,
for instance, RHEL/CentOS 6 package glibc 2.12.

Also affects PR gdb/21559:

    ../../gdb/regcache.c:1087: internal-error: void regcache_raw_supply(regcache, int, const void): Assertion `regnum >= 0 && regnum < regcache->descr->nr_raw_registers' failed.

As noted by Andrew Paprocki, who submitted the PR
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21559#c3):

    > It should be noted that modifying `configure` to force on
    > `HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE` and
    > `HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_GS_BASE` fixes this issue. For some
    > reason the `configure` tests for `fs_base` and `gs_base` fail
    > even though `sys/user.h` on RHEL5 has the fields defined in
    > `user_regs_struct`.

Note that this patch does NOT fix the root cause of PR gdb/21559,
although now that `configure` properly detects the presence of the
fields and sets HAVE_XXX accordingly, the execution takes another
path, which doesn't lead to the assertion failure in question.

		   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.
