Thiago Jung Bauermann 0209006212 GDB: aarch64-linux: Fix build failure on musl systems
When building against musl (e.g. on Alpine Linux), the following error
happens:

    CXX    linux-aarch64-low.o
  In file included from /home/bauermann/src/binutils-gdb/gdbserver/linux-aarch64-low.cc:48:
  /home/bauermann/src/binutils-gdb/gdbserver/../gdb/nat/aarch64-gcs-linux.h:36:8: error: redefinition of 'struct user_gcs'
     36 | struct user_gcs
        |        ^~~~~~~~
  In file included from /home/bauermann/src/binutils-gdb/gdbserver/linux-aarch64-low.cc:36:
  /usr/include/asm/ptrace.h:329:8: note: previous definition of 'struct user_gcs'
    329 | struct user_gcs {
        |        ^~~~~~~~
  make[2]: *** [Makefile:565: linux-aarch64-low.o] Error 1

aarch64-linux-tdep.c fails to build in the same way.  This happens because
aarch64-gcs-linux-ptrace.h uses GCS_MAGIC to see whether the system headers
have GCS-related definitions.  The problem is that GCS_MAGIC is defined in
<asm/sigcontext.h> while struct gcs_user is defined in <asm/ptrace.h>.
It's fine on glibc systems because in the set of system headers that
linux-aarch64-low.cc and aarch64-linux-tdep.c include, <asm/sigcontext.h>
ends up being included implicitly as well.  This doesn't happen when using
musl's headers though.

There isn't a macro in <asm/ptrace.h> whose presence is correlated with
the presence of the struct user_gcs definition, so a configure check is
needed to detect it and conditionally define the struct.

Note that there's another build issue with musl, described in
PR gdb/33747 affecting compilation of gdb/ser-unix.c.  In order to be
able to test this patch, I applied the patch in comment 11 there.

Tested with a native build on an Alpine Linux aarch64 system, and also
verified that all gdb.arch/aarch64-gcs*.exp tests pass on it.

		   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, and so on. 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.
