Add --enable-codesign to gdb's configure
macOS requires that the gdb executable be signed in order to be able to successfully use ptrace. This must be done after each link. This patch adds a new --enable-codesign configure option so that this step can be automated. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-06-28 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * NEWS: Mention --enable-codesign. * silent-rules.mk (ECHO_SIGN): New variable. * configure.ac: Add --enable-codesign. * configure: Rebuild. * Makefile.in (CODESIGN, CODESIGN_CERT): New variables. (gdb$(EXEEXT)): Optionally invoke codesign.
