Tom Tromey 21987b9c06 Add RAII class for blocking gdb signals
This adds configury support and an RAII class that can be used to
temporarily block signals that are used by gdb.  (This class is not
used in this patch, but it split out for easier review.)

The idea of this patch is that these signals should only be delivered
to the main thread.  So, when creating a background thread, they are
temporarily blocked; the blocked state is inherited by the new thread.

The sigprocmask man page says:

    The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded
    process; see pthread_sigmask(3).

This patch changes gdb to use pthread_sigmask when appropriate, by
introducing a convenience define.

I've updated gdbserver as well, because I had to touch gdbsupport, and
because the threading patches will make it link against the thread
library.

I chose not to touch the NTO code, because I don't know anything about
that platform and because I cannot test it.

Finally, this modifies an existing spot in the Guile layer to use the
new facility.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
