5.1 PATCH: Allow gdb to link on mips-sgi-irix5.3

[Rainer Orth <ro at TechFak dot Uni-Bielefeld dot DE>]

I just tried the current CVS version, configured on IRIX 6.2 for
mips-sgi-irix5.3, to allow debugging O32 binaries on IRIX 6 during my work
to re-integrate O32 ABI support for IRIX 6 into GCC.

gdb failed to link, though:

ld32: ERROR   33 : Unresolved text symbol "no_shared_libraries" -- 1st referenced by libgdb.a(remote.o).

The patch below fixes this.

Unfortunately, the resulting gdb does not work at all:

* Trying to debug a trivial hello world compiled with cc -32 -g (i.e. with
  mdebug debugging information) lets gdb abort with an internal error:

% cc -32 -g -o hello-cc hello.c
% gdb/gdb ./hello-cc

* Trying the same thing with a gcc-compiled binary (using gas, so stabs are
  in use) is not much better:

% gcc -g -o hello-gcc hello.c
% gdb/gdb ./hello-gcc

Both programs can be debugged with gdb 5.0 ;-(
