As discussed in How to use compile & execute function in GDB https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00026.html GDB currently searches for compilers on /usr/bin/ARCH-OS-gcc and chooses a match from there. However, it is not currently possible for the user to override which compiler to use. This is what this patch implements. It is also a sync between GCC's and GDB's interfaces. gdb/ChangeLog 2017-08-23 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> * NEWS (Changes since GDB 7.9): Add set compile-gcc and show compile-gcc. * compile/compile.c (compile_gcc, show_compile_gcc): New.
