Paul Richards ea8c7ac7d0 GDB-4.12 from ports with support for shlibs but not the kernel.
This is a greatly pared down version of the full gdb-4.12, all the
config stuff has been removed and the supporting libraries have
been stripped to a minimum. This is a 1.1.5 only port, I'll do a
more complete port for 2.0 which will have all the config stuff
and will install the gnu support libraries as system libraries like
we do for readline.

There wasn't much point for 1.1.5 since only gdb would use them so I
went for saving space instead. For 2.0 I'll config all the
other gnu tools to use them as well.

This is a greatly pared down version of GDB-4.12 for FreeBSD 1.1.5 that
supports debugging of shared executables and the new a.out format.
I've collapsed some of the directories and removed lots of files from others.
All that's included is those necessary to compile on FreeBSD 1.1.5, this was
to keep the replacement for GDB-3 compact since none of the multiple
architecture stuff is used. All the documentation has been put in the doc/
directory.
A full port of each library will probably be done for FreeBSD 2.0 and
included as system libraries so that other build tools can share them.
At that time a more complete port of GDB-4 will be done that allows
configuration for different systems and uses the full libraries.
