bfd/cache.c doesn't compile with gcc -m64 on Solaris


On current mainline, bfd/cache.c doesn't compile with gcc -m64 on
Solaris 8 to 11:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb-7.7/bfd/cache.c: In function 'bfd_cache_max_open':
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb-7.7/bfd/cache.c:85: error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

This breaks both binutils 2.24 and gdb 7.7 builds and is a regression
from the previous releases.

The error is about

	  && rlim.rlim_cur != RLIM_INFINITY)

where <sys/resource.h> has

typedef unsigned long   rlim_t;
#define RLIM_INFINITY   (-3l)

While I've raised the issue with Oracle, this won't help for shipping
Solaris releases.  The problem can easily be avoided by casting
RLIM_INFINITY to rlim_t, as the following patch does.

Ok for mainline and the binutils 2.24 branch?
