An issue was reported here related to building GDB on MinGW:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2020-September/048927.html
It was suggested here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2020-September/048931.html
that the solution might be to make use of $(LIB_GETRANDOM), a variable
defined in the gnulib makefile, when linking GDB.
In fact I think the issue is bigger than just LIB_GETRANDOM. When
using the script binutils-gdb/gnulib/update-gnulib.sh to reimport
gnulib there is a lot of output from gnulib's gnulib-tool. Part of
that output is this:
You may need to use the following makefile variables when linking.
Use them in <program>_LDADD when linking a program, or
in <library>_a_LDFLAGS or <library>_la_LDFLAGS when linking a library.
$(FREXPL_LIBM)
$(FREXP_LIBM)
$(INET_NTOP_LIB)
$(LIBTHREAD)
$(LIB_GETLOGIN)
$(LIB_GETRANDOM)
$(LIB_HARD_LOCALE)
$(LIB_MBRTOWC)
$(LIB_SETLOCALE_NULL)
$(LTLIBINTL) when linking with libtool, $(LIBINTL) otherwise
What I think this is telling us is that we should be including the
value of all these variables on the link line for gdb and gdbserver.
The problem though is that these variables are define in gnulib's
makefile, but are not (necessarily) defined in GDB's makefile.
One solution would be to recreate the checks that gnulib performs in
order to recreate these variables in both gdb's and gdbserver's
makefile. Though this shouldn't be too hard, most (if not all) of
these checks are in the form macros defined in m4 files in the gnulib
tree, so we could just reference these as needed. However, in this
commit I propose a different solution.
Currently, in the top level makefile, we give gdb and gdbserver a
dependency on gnulib. Once gnulib has finished building gdb and
gdbserver can start, these projects then have a hard coded (relative)
path to the compiled gnulib library in their makefiles.
In this commit I extend the gnulib configure script to install a new
makefile fragment in the gnulib build directory. This new file will
have the usual variable substitutions applied to it, and so can
include the complete list (see above) of all the extra libraries that
are needed when linking against gnulib.
In fact the new makefile fragment defines three variables, these are:
LIBGNU: The path to the archive containing gnulib. Can be used as a
dependency as when this file changes gdb/gdbserver should be
relinked.
LIBGNU_EXTRA_LIBS: A list of linker -l.... flags that should be
included in the link line of gdb/gdbserver. These are
libraries that $(LIBGNU) depends on. This list is taken from
the output of gnulib-tool, which is run by our
gnulib/update-gnulib.sh script.
INCGNU: A list of -I.... include paths that should be passed to the
compiler, these are where the gnulib headers can be found.
Now both gdb and gdbserver can include the makefile fragment and make
use of these variables.
The makefile fragment relies on the variable GNULIB_BUILDDIR being
defined. This is checked for in the fragment, and was already defined
in the makefiles of gdb and gdbserver.

GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

Update copyright year range in all GDB files.

This adds the no-dist option to the gnulib configure script. gdb
doesn't use "make dist", so there's no need for this. Adding this
option makes the Makefiles less verbose.
gnulib/ChangeLog
2019-11-15 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* aclocal.m4, configure, Makefile.in, import/Makefile.in:
Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Remove obsolete comment. Add no-dist.

This is a lot simpler and as a side-effect this will correctly
regenerate import/Makefile and config.h during rebuilds if
necessary.
gnulib/ChangeLog:
2019-11-15 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com>
* Makefile.am: New file.
* Makefile.in: Replace with generated file.
* aclocal-m4-deps.mk: Remove.
* configure.ac: Use the foreign option for automake and specify
the aclocal search path here.
* update-gnulib.sh: Don't generate aclocal-m4-deps.mk anymore.
Also don't specify the aclocal include path here, now that it
is in configure.ac.

This patch moves the gdb/gnulib subdirectory to the top level.
It adjusts the top-level build system to build gnulib when necessary,
and changes gdb to use this. However, gdbserver still builds its own
copy of gnulib, just from the new source location.
A small hack was needed to ensure that gnulib is only built when gdb
is enabled. The Makefile only provides an ordering -- the directory
must be mentioned in configdirs to actually be compiled at all.
Most of the patch is just a "git mv" of gnulib, though a few minor
path adjustments were needed in some files there.
Tested by the buildbot.
