Simon Marchi cb9b645d3e gdb: recognize 64 bits Windows executables as Cygwin osabi
If I generate two Windows PE executables, one 32 bits and one 64 bits:

    $ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc test.c -g3 -O0 -o test_64
    $ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc test.c -g3 -O0 -o test_32
    $ file test_64
    test_64: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows
    $ file test_32
    test_32: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

When I load the 32 bits binary in my GNU/Linux-hosted GDB, the osabi is
correctly recognized as "Cygwin":

    $ ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory -nx test_32
    (gdb) show osabi
    The current OS ABI is "auto" (currently "Cygwin").

When I load the 64 bits binary in GDB, the osabi is incorrectly
recognized as "GNU/Linux":

    $ ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory -nx test_64
    (gdb) show osabi
    The current OS ABI is "auto" (currently "GNU/Linux").

The 32 bits one gets recognized by the i386_cygwin_osabi_sniffer
function, by its target name:

    if (strcmp (target_name, "pei-i386") == 0)
      return GDB_OSABI_CYGWIN;

The target name for the 64 bits binaries is "pei-x86-64".  It doesn't
get recognized by any osabi sniffer, so GDB falls back on its default
osabi, "GNU/Linux".

This patch adds an osabi sniffer function for the Windows 64 bits
executables in amd64-windows-tdep.c.  With it, the osabi is recognized
as "Cygwin", just like with the 32 bits binary.

Note that it may seems strange to have a binary generated by MinGW
(which has nothing to do with Cygwin) be recognized as a Cygwin binary.
This is indeed not accurate, but at the moment GDB uses the Cygwin for
everything Windows.  Subsequent patches will add a separate "Windows" OS
ABI for Windows binaries that are not Cygwin binaries.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* amd64-windows-tdep.c (amd64_windows_osabi_sniffer): New
	function.
	(_initialize_amd64_windows_tdep): Register osabi sniffer.

		   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
