Since readlink module is imported, we can use it unconditionally.
This patch is to remove configure checks and HAVE_READLINK checks in
code. It was mentioned in the patch below
[RFA/commit] gdbserver: return ENOSYS if readlink not supported.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-02/msg00148.html
to use readlink in gdbserver, but we chose something simple at that
moment.
gdb:
2014-11-28 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink.
* config.in, configure: Re-generate.
* inf-child.c (inf_child_fileio_readlink): Don't check
HAVE_READLINK is defined.
gdb/gdbserver:
2014-11-28 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* configure.ac(AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink.
* config.in, configure: Re-generate.
* hostio.c (handle_unlink): Remove code checking HAVE_READLINK
is defined.
PATH_MAX is not defined on systems which have no limit on filename
length, such as GNU/Hurd. As designed, the hostio RSP packets carry
the paths as parameters in the request/reply packets, which themselves
have an upper size limit, so lifting the filename limit completely
would require a redesign with new hostio packets. While that doesn't
happen, we can at least support filename lengths as long as the packet
buffer can fit.

2013-07-01 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* hostio.c (HOSTIO_PATH_MAX): Define.
(require_filename, handle_open, handle_unlink, handle_readlink):
Use it.
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.

* common/linux-osdata.c (linux_xfer_osdata_fds): Decrease buffer
size parameter passed to readlink by one byte.
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_pid_to_exec_file): Ditto.
* linux-nat.c (linux_child_pid_to_exec_file): Ditto.
* nbsd-nat.c (nbsd_pid_to_exec_file): Ditto.
* inf-child.c (inf_child_fileio_readlink): Decrease local buffer's
size by one byte.
gdb/gdbserver/
2012-11-26 Maxime Villard <rustyBSD@gmx.fr>
* hostio.c (handle_readlink): Decrease buffer size
parameter passed to readlink by one byte.
* inf-child.c (inf_child_fileio_pwrite): If pwrite fails, fall back
to attempting lseek/write.
(inf_child_fileio_pread): Likewise for pread.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* hostio.c (handle_pread): If pread fails, fall back to attempting
lseek/read.
(handle_pwrite): Likewise for pwrite.
This reproduces on the GDBserver side what GDB does when readlink is
not supported.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add readlink to AC_CHECK_FUNCS list.
* configure, config.in: Regenerate.
* hostio.c: Provide an alternate implementation if HAVE_READLINK
is not defined.
