Jose E. Marchesi b686ecb5b1 gdb: link executables with libtool
This patch changes the GDB build system in order to use libtool to
link the several built executables.  This makes it possible to refer
to libtool libraries (.la files) in CLIBS.

As an application of the above,

  BFD              now refers to ../libbfd/libbfd.la
  OPCODES          now refers to ../opcodes/libopcodes.la
  LIBBACKTRACE_LIB now refers to ../libbacktrace/libbacktrace.la
  LIBCTF           now refers to ../libctf/libctf.la

NOTE1: The addition of libtool adds a few new configure-time options
       to GDB.  Among these, --enable-shared and --disable-shared, which were
       previously ignored.  Now GDB shall honor these options when linking,
       picking up the right version of the referred libtool libraries
       automagically.

NOTE2: I have not tested the insight build.

NOTE3: For regenerating configure I used an environment with Autoconf
       2.69 and Automake 1.15.1.  This should match the previously
       used version as announced in the configure script.

NOTE4: Now the installed shared objects libbfd.so, libopcodes.so and
       libctf.so are used by gdb if binutils is installed with
       --enable-shared.

Testing performed:

- --enable-shared and --disable-shared (the default in binutils) work
  as expected: the linked executables link with the archive or shared
  libraries transparently.

- Makefile.in modified for EXEEXT = .exe.  It installs the binaries
  just fine.  The installed gdb.exe runs fine.

- Native build regtested in x86_64. No regressions found.

- Cross build for aarch64-linux-gnu built to exercise
  program_transform_name and friends.  The installed
  aarch64-linux-gnu-gdb runs fine.

# For projects using AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([foo]), Autoconf sets
# $ac_aux_dir to '$srcdir/foo'. In other projects, it is set to
# '$srcdir', '$srcdir/..', or '$srcdir/../..'.
#
# Of course, Automake must honor this variable whenever it calls a
# tool from the auxiliary directory. The problem is that $srcdir (and
# therefore $ac_aux_dir as well) can be either absolute or relative,
# depending on how configure is run. This is pretty annoying, since
# it makes $ac_aux_dir quite unusable in subdirectories: in the top
# source directory, any form will work fine, but in subdirectories a
# relative path needs to be adjusted first.
#
# $ac_aux_dir/missing
# fails when called from a subdirectory if $ac_aux_dir is relative
# $top_srcdir/$ac_aux_dir/missing
# fails if $ac_aux_dir is absolute,
# fails when called from a subdirectory in a VPATH build with
# a relative $ac_aux_dir
#
# The reason of the latter failure is that $top_srcdir and $ac_aux_dir
# are both prefixed by $srcdir. In an in-source build this is usually
# harmless because $srcdir is '.', but things will broke when you
# start a VPATH build or use an absolute $srcdir.
#
# So we could use something similar to $top_srcdir/$ac_aux_dir/missing,
# iff we strip the leading $srcdir from $ac_aux_dir. That would be:
# am_aux_dir='\$(top_srcdir)/'`expr "$ac_aux_dir" : "$srcdir//*\(.*\)"`
# and then we would define $MISSING as
# MISSING="\${SHELL} $am_aux_dir/missing"
# This will work as long as MISSING is not called from configure, because
# unfortunately $(top_srcdir) has no meaning in configure.
# However there are other variables, like CC, which are often used in
# configure, and could therefore not use this "fixed" $ac_aux_dir.
#
# Another solution, used here, is to always expand $ac_aux_dir to an
# absolute PATH. The drawback is that using absolute paths prevent a
# configured tree to be moved without reconfiguration.
