Joel Brobecker e547c119d0 (Ada) provide the exception message when hitting an exception catchpoint
This patch enhances the debugger to print the exception message, when
available, as part of an exception catchpoint hit notification (both
GDB/CLI and GDB/MI). For instance, with the following code...

    procedure A is
    begin
       raise Constraint_Error with "hello world";
    end A;

... instead of printing...

    Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR at 0x000000000040245c in a () at a.adb:3

... it now prints:

    Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR (hello world) at 0x000000000040245c in a ()
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This enhancement requires runtime support. If not present, the debugger
just behaves as before.

In GDB/MI mode, if the exception message is available, it is provided
as an extra field named "exception-message" in the catchpoint notification:

    *stopped,bkptno="1",[...],exception-name="CONSTRAINT_ERROR",
       exception-message="hello world",[...]

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * ada-lang.c (ada_exception_message_1, ada_exception_message):
        New functions.
        (print_it_exception): If available, display the exception
        message as well.
        * NEWS: Document new feature.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Ada Exception Information): Document
        new "exception-message" field.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp, gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp,
        gdb.ada/mi_ex_cond.exp: Accept optional exception message in

		   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

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