Alan Hayward f9e2e39d23 testsuite: Record all gdb input to gdb.in
When debugging testsuite failures, it can be awkward parsing gdb.log to
obtain all the commands run in order to manually re-run the test.

This patch adds the functionality to save all gdb commands to the file gdb.in
when the testsuite is run. The file is saved in the directory for the test and
if gdb is restarted then .1, .2, .3 etc is added to the filename.

Once a test has been run, the .in file can be used to re-run the test in the
following way:

  gdb -x outputs/gdb.store/gdb.in outputs/gdb.store/store

The code works by intercepting send_gdb.  I've added a TYPE to ensure that any
commands that would destroy the playback are kept from the log (for example the
Y from an answer to a y/n question).

Adds library function standard_output_file_with_gdb_instance to open a file
postfixed with count of the gdb instance.  Ensure this count is reset when a new
.exp script is run.

I've re-run a random selection of .in files to check they do not error. Logs with
commands such as "attach <pid>" will not directly work when re-run.

		   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.
