Since GDB 13.x and upstream commit
b686ecb5b10be9a33ab8f1bfdcff22eef920d1a5 ("gdb: link executables with
libtool"), gdb will be linked against the shared variants of libbfd
and libopcodes if they exist. However, this causes host gdb and target
gdb to not work, because our gdb package does not install libbfd and
libopcodes (to not clash with the ones potentially installed by
binutils).
In order to get around this, this commit proposes to get back to the
situation we had before GDB 13.x: libbfd and libopcodes are only
compiled as static libraries, so that they are linked directly inside
the gdb binary, avoiding the problem entirely.
This resolves:
# gdb --version
gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libopcodes-2.39.50.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
for target gdb, and:
$ ./host/bin/arm-linux-gdb --version
./host/bin/arm-linux-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libopcodes-2.39.50.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
for host gdb.
