Use toplevel configure for GMP and MPFR for gdb
This patch uses the toplevel configure parts for GMP/MPFR for gdb. The only thing is that gdb now requires MPFR for building. Before it was a recommended but not required library. Also this allows building of GMP and MPFR with the toplevel directory just like how it is done for GCC. We now error out in the toplevel configure of the version of GMP and MPFR that is wrong. OK after GDB 13 branches? Build gdb 3 ways: with GMP and MPFR in the toplevel (static library used at that point for both) With only MPFR in the toplevel (GMP distro library used and MPFR built from source) With neither GMP and MPFR in the toplevel (distro libraries used) Changes from v1: * Updated gdb/README and gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo. * Regenerated using unmodified autoconf-2.69 Thanks, Andrew Pinski ChangeLog: * Makefile.def: Add configure-gdb dependencies on all-gmp and all-mpfr. * configure.ac: Split out MPC checking from MPFR. Require GMP and MPFR if the gdb directory exist. * Makefile.in: Regenerate. * configure: Regenerate. gdb/ChangeLog: PR bug/28500 * configure.ac: Remove AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS for gmp and mpfr. Use GMPLIBS and GMPINC which is provided by the toplevel configure. * Makefile.in (LIBGMP, LIBMPFR): Remove. (GMPLIBS, GMPINC): Add definition. (INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE): Add GMPINC. (CLIBS): Exchange LIBMPFR and LIBGMP for GMPLIBS. * target-float.c: Make the code conditional on HAVE_LIBMPFR unconditional. * top.c: Remove code checking HAVE_LIBMPFR. * configure: Regenerate. * config.in: Regenerate. * README: Update GMP/MPFR section of the config options. * doc/gdb.texinfo: Likewise.
