Here's the patch corresponding to the Solaris 10 obsoletion announcement
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2019-10/msg00008.html
Right now it doesn't remove any code, but obviates the need to test on
that ancient platform. Besides, some of the patches I have in my queue
would require different solutions for Solaris 10 and 11.
There are a few comment-only references that I've kept since they are
still correct as is, even when GDB doesn't support Solaris 10 any
longer. The only code fragment I've left in is support for
/proc/<pid/path/a.out in procfs.c (procfs_target::pid_to_exec_file):
while current Solaris 11 updates provide /proc/<pid>/execname, that
wasn't present in Solaris 11.0 and still isn't in current Illumos and I
didn't want to make live harder for them.
Tested on i386-pc-solaris2.10 (obsolete configuration rejected) and
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu x sparc64-solaris2.10 (likewise)
resp. x86_64-pc-linux-gnu x sparcv9-solaris2.11 (still builds; I'm using
the sparcv9 form for 64-bit SPARC customary on Solaris in the
MAINTAINERS file now).

Support for m88k was fully removed from bfd, which broke gdb
--enable-targets=all builds:
> gdb/m88k-tdep.c: In function void _initialize_m88k_tdep():
> gdb/m88k-tdep.c:867:21: error: bfd_arch_m88k was not declared in this scope
> gdbarch_register (bfd_arch_m88k, m88k_gdbarch_init, NULL);
There's no point in keeping GDB support for OpenBSD/m88k with no bfd
support, so this commit simply removes the port.

Given that GCC has obsoleted/removed support for Solaris 9 in GCC 4.9/5 in 2013:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.htmlhttps://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00728.html
and the last gdb version that can be compiled with gcc 4.9 is 7.12.1 only when
configured with --disable-build-with-cxx, it's time to obsolete/remove support
for Solaris < 10.
This patch does this, simplifying configure.nat along the way (only a single
sol2 configuration with variants for i386 and sparc).
Some configure checks for older Solaris versions can go, too, and the check
for libthread_db.so.1 removed:
* Since Solaris 10, dlopen has moved to libc and libdl.so is just a
filter on ld.so.1, so no need to check.
* $RDYNAMIC is already handled above (and is a no-op with Solaris ld
anyway).
Both proc-service.c and sol-thread.c lose support for (Solaris-only)
PROC_SERVICE_IS_OLD.
The attached revised patch has been tested on sparcv9-sun-solaris2.10,
sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11.4, amd64-pc-solaris2.10, amd64-pc-solaris2.11.4,
and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
I've also started an i386-pc-solaris2.9 build to check that it really
stops as expected.

When `info float` is used on an AMD64 system, GDB prints
floating-point values of x87 registers with raw contents like
0x361a867a8e0527397ce0 or 0xc4f988454a1ddd3cfdab wrongly.
This happens due to truncation to double, after which the former
becomes 0.0, and the latter becomes negative infinity. This is caused
by failed detection of x86-64 host, which results in setting
gdb_host_{float,double,long_double}_format to zeros.
This commit fixes this misdetection, and adds a test to make sure
future commits don't introduce a regression here.

IIUC it is a pre-requisite for IPv6 support, some UNICes do not support
getaddrinfo required for IPv6. But coincidentally such UNICes are no longer
really supported by GDB. Therefore it was concluded we can remove all such
UNICes and then we can implement IPv6 easily with getaddrinfo.

This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.
Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.
A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.
I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

As suggested before, rename the S/390-related source files (tdep and nat)
such that "-linux-" occurs in the file name, like with other GNU/Linux
targets. Since no other operating system is currently supported by GDB
on this architecture, this isn't strictly necessary. But the old names
sometimes caused GDB contributors to miss these files when performing a
change that affects all GNU/Linux targets. The latest such incident was
observed here:
