Move gdb's xmalloc and friends to new file
When "common" becomes a library, linking will cause a symbol clash, because "xmalloc" and some related symbols are defined in that library, libiberty, and readline. To work around this problem, this patch moves the clashing symbols to a new file, which is then compiled separately for both gdb and gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-06-11 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * common/common-utils.c (xmalloc, xrealloc, xcalloc) (xmalloc_failed): Move to alloc.c. * alloc.c: New file. * Makefile.in (COMMON_SFILES): Add alloc.c. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog 2019-06-11 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * Makefile.in (SFILES): Add alloc.c. (OBS): Add alloc.o. (IPA_OBJS): Add alloc-ipa.o. (alloc-ipa.o): New target. (%.o: ../%.c): New pattern rule.

+
+ Because both libiberty and readline define xmalloc and friends, the

+
+ And, because we want to turn the common code into a library, this
+ file can't live there.
+
+ So, it lives in gdb and is built separately by gdb and gdbserver.
+ Please be aware of this when modifying it.
+
+ This also explains why this file includes common-defs.h and not
