    Update gdb's configure instructions · 7f0bd420
    Tom Tromey authored
    gdb's README and configure instructions in the manual are quite out of
    date.  They mention options that haven't existed for many years, among
    other things.
    
    This patch attempts to modernize the instructions somewhat.  It is not
    exhaustive, just an improvement -- more could be done.  Perhaps even a
    couple of the nodes should simply be removed and replaced by
    references to the Autoconf manual.
    
    The README file seems to have been generated from the Texinfo at some
    point in the past.  I did not continue this, but instead edited it
    separately.
