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.

Need to add fork-inferior.o to NATDEPFILES.
With the changes below, I can build gdb on sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11 and
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 and a simple smoke test (gdb/gdb gdb/gdb) works.
NetBSD ships with gcore(1) againg since the version 2.0.
This tool is functional and actively maintained.

2017-09-06 Kamil Rytarowski <n54@gmx.com>
* configure.nat: Define HAVE_NATIVE_GCORE_HOST on NetBSD.
NetBSD recently added PT_GETDBREGS and PT_SETDBREGS ptrace operations
that match the existing ones supported by x86-bsd-nat.c. NetBSD's
headers do not provide the DBREG_DRX helper macro, so define a local
version in x86-bsd-nat.c. In addition, add the x86-nat.o and x86-dregs.o
object files to the native NetBSD x86 build targets.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.nat: Add "x86-nat.o x86-dregs.o" for NetBSD/amd64 and
NetBSD/i386.
* x86-bsd-nat.c [!DBREG_DRX && __NetBSD__]: Define DBREG_DRX.
- Add the '-lkvm' library requirement for NetBSD/sparc64.
- Fix spelling of 'nbsdelf' host.
gdb/Changelog:
* configure.nat: Add "-lkvm" for NetBSD/sparc64 and fix typo.
I happened to be build-testing on macOS and found this:

Adding fork-inferior.o fixes it. I factored out the Darwin bits that
are no architecture-specific in the section meant for that at the top.
I only built-tested this using Travis-CI, since I don't have access to
this platform.
gdb/ChangeLog:

Including fork-inferior.o in the build should help. I also factored out
the AIX bits that are not architecture-specific to be consistent with the other
OSes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.nat: Factor out AIX bits that are not
architecture-specific. Add fork-inferior.o.
This is the most important (and the biggest, sorry) patch of the
series. It moves fork_inferior from gdb/fork-child.c to
nat/fork-inferior.c and makes all the necessary adjustments to both
GDB and gdbserver to make sure everything works OK.
There is no "most important change" with this patch; all changes are
made in a progressive way, making sure that gdbserver had the
necessary features while not breaking GDB at the same time.
I decided to go ahead and implement a partial support for starting the
inferior with a shell on gdbserver, although the full feature comes in
the next patch. The user won't have the option to disable the
startup-with-shell, and also won't be able to change which shell
gdbserver will use (other than setting the $SHELL environment
variable, that is).
Everything is working as expected, and no regressions were present
during the tests.

* gdb.server/non-existing-program.exp: Update regex in order to
reflect the fact that gdbserver is now using fork_inferior (with a
shell) to startup the inferior.
The previous commit introduced gdb/configure.nat, but it was just a
copy-and-past (with the necessary adjustments) from the files under
gdb/config/. We can do better than that.
Instead of using one big 'case' statement that matches the
${gdb_host_cpu} and then match each ${gdb_host}, it is possible to
remove a lof of redundancy by matching the most common ${gdb_host}'s
first, setting the common variables for each, and then proceed to
matching specific ${gdb_host}'s and ${gdb_host_cpu}'s. In other
words, reverse the order of the 'case's and take advantage of the fact
that a lot of parameters are the same for each host.
This commit was tested on x86_64 without regressions.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-05-06 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* configure.nat: Rearrange 'case' statements to match
host before cpu.
Due to my ongoing work to make it possible for gdbserver to start the
inferior using the shell, I had to share the fork_inferior function
under the "nat/" directory. In order to do that, I created a new file
and put the function there; however, this meant that I now had to
update some of the *.mh files (under "gdb/config") and add the new
file as a dependency to be built natively. Bleh...
After talking a bit to Pedro about this, the idea came up to write a
new "gdb/configure.nat" file, a la "gdb/configure.tgt", which would
concentrate all of the native settings for each host/system. I
decided to tackle this issue.
The patch is simple. All of the previous Makefile variables that were
being declared inside the *.mh files are now inside "gdb/Makefile.in",
and "gdb/configure" is responsible for AC_SUBST'ing them. The
definitions of these variables were put inside "gdb/configure.nat", so
now they're shell variables. For excerpts of Makefile code, one must
create a file under "gdb/config/${gdb_cpu_host}" and reference it on
the "nat_extra_makefile_frag" variable.
It should now be easier to update the native dependencies of hosts in
this single file.
This has been tested on x86_64 without regressions.
