Simon Marchi c884cc4619 gdb: remove HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h:

    /* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64
       or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for
       ptrace.  Provide one to silence compiler warnings.  */

    #ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
    extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace();
    #endif

I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed.  First, the
comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had
never even heard of).

But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis
declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C.  So if this
declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call
sites pass some arguments.  Since we haven't heard anything about this
causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I
conclude that it's not used.

This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* ptrace.m4: Don't check for ptrace declaration.
	* config.in: Re-generate.
	* configure: Re-generate.
	* nat/gdb_ptrace.h: Don't declare ptrace if HAVE_DECL_PTRACE is
	not defined.

gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* config.in: Re-generate.
	* configure: Re-generate.

gdbsupport/ChangeLog:

	* config.in: Re-generate.
	* configure: Re-generate.

		   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.
