Update gdb's configure instructions gdb's README and configure instructions in the manual are quite out of date. They mention options that haven't existed for many years, among other things. This patch attempts to modernize the instructions somewhat. It is not exhaustive, just an improvement -- more could be done. Perhaps even a couple of the nodes should simply be removed and replaced by references to the Autoconf manual. The README file seems to have been generated from the Texinfo at some point in the past. I did not continue this, but instead edited it separately. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-09-29 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * PROBLEMS: Rewrite. * README: Update. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2018-09-29 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * gdb.texinfo (Requirements): Mention C++, GNU make.
