Remove support for Solaris < 10 (PR gdb/22185)
Given that GCC has obsoleted/removed support for Solaris 9 in GCC 4.9/5 in 2013: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00728.html and the last gdb version that can be compiled with gcc 4.9 is 7.12.1 only when configured with --disable-build-with-cxx, it's time to obsolete/remove support for Solaris < 10. This patch does this, simplifying configure.nat along the way (only a single sol2 configuration with variants for i386 and sparc). Some configure checks for older Solaris versions can go, too, and the check for libthread_db.so.1 removed: * Since Solaris 10, dlopen has moved to libc and libdl.so is just a filter on ld.so.1, so no need to check. * $RDYNAMIC is already handled above (and is a no-op with Solaris ld anyway). Both proc-service.c and sol-thread.c lose support for (Solaris-only) PROC_SERVICE_IS_OLD. The attached revised patch has been tested on sparcv9-sun-solaris2.10, sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11.4, amd64-pc-solaris2.10, amd64-pc-solaris2.11.4, and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. I've also started an i386-pc-solaris2.9 build to check that it really stops as expected. PR gdb/22185 * configure.host <*-*-solaris2.[01], *-*-solaris2.[2-9]*>: Mark as obsolete. Use gdb_host sol2 for i[34567]86-*-solaris2*, x86_64-*-solaris2*. Remove i386sol2 support. * configure.nat <i386sol2>: Remove. <sol2-64>: Fold into ... <sol2>: ... this. Move common settings to default section. Add sol-thread.o. * configure.tgt <i[34567]86-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*, x86_64-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*>: Rename to ... <i[34567]86-*-solaris2*, x86_64-*-solaris2*>: ... this. <i[34567]86-*-solaris*>: Remove. <sparc-*-solaris2.[0-6], sparc-*-solaris2.[0-6].*>: Remove. * configure.ac: Remove wctype in libw check. (_MSE_INT_H): Don't define on Solaris 7-9. <solaris*>: Remove libthread_db.so.1 check. * configure: Regenerate. * config.in: Regenerate. * proc-service.c: Remove PROC_SERVICE_IS_OLD handling. (gdb_ps_prochandle_t, gdb_ps_read_buf_t, gdb_ps_write_buf_t) (gdb_ps_size_t): Remove. Use base types in users. * sol-thread.c: Likewise, also for gdb_ps_addr_t. * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.0): Document Solaris 2.0-9 removal.
