Simon Marchi b593ecca85 Makefiles: Flatten and sort file lists
I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical.  Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle.  As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).

I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order.  The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.

A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.

I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect.  I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.

Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail.  The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order.  We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.

New in v2:

 - Change ordering style, directories go at the end.
 - Cleanup gdbserver's and data-directory's Makefile as well.
 - Add comments at top of Makefiles about the ordering.
 - Remove wrong trailing backslahes.
 - Fix test gdb.base/default.exp.

	* Makefile.in: Add comment about file lists ordering.

README

		   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.
