gdb/configure.ac: Add option --with-additional-debug-dirs
If you want to install GDB in a custom prefix, have it look for debug info
in that prefix but also in the distro's default location (typically,
/usr/lib/debug) and run the GDB testsuite before doing "make install", you
have a bit of a problem:
Configuring GDB with '--prefix=$PREFIX' sets the GDB 'debug-file-directory'
parameter to $PREFIX/lib/debug. Unfortunately this precludes GDB from
looking for distro-installed debug info in /usr/lib/debug. For regular GDB
use you could set debug-file-directory to $PREFIX:/usr/lib/debug in
$PREFIX/etc/gdbinit so that GDB will look in both places, but if you want
to run the testsuite then that doesn't help because in that case GDB runs
with the '-nx' option.
There's the configure option '--with-separate-debug-dir' to set the default
value for 'debug-file-directory', but it accepts only one directory and not
a list. I considered modifying it to accept a list, but it's not obvious
how to do that because its value is also used by BFD, as well as processed
for "relocatability".
I thought it was simpler to add a new option to specify a list of
additional directories that will be appended to the debug-file-directory
setting.
