Fix gdb C++ compilation on Solaris (PR build/20712)
gdb 7.12 doesn't compile as C++ (tried with g++ 4.9) on Solaris (tried
10 and 12, sparc and x86). The following patch (relative to the 7.12
release, though I expect most if not all issues to be present on trunk,
too) fixes this.
Only a few of the changes bear explanation:
* Initially, compilation failed whereever defs.h. was included:

extern double atof(const char *);
^
This is due to this gem in gdb/defs.h which seems to have been present
like forever:
#ifndef atof
extern double atof (const char *); /* X3.159-1989 4.10.1.1 */
#endif
In the Solaris headers, the appropriate functions are in namespace std,
thus the conflict. I've wrapped the defs.h declaration in !__cplusplus
to avoid this; perhaps it can go completely instead.
* All the casts are necessary to appease g++ and should be pretty
obvious.
* The sol-thread.c changes are here to handle

and are modeled after linux-thread-db.c (try_thread_db_load_1).
The patch allowed both 32 and 64-bit C++ builds on sparc-sun-solaris2.10
and i386-pc-solaris2.10 to complete. The resulting binary hasn't seen
more than a smoke test (invoke it on itself, b main, run) yet.
When investigating the failure to detect -static-libstdc++
support (more below), I found two more issues which only show up with
-Werror:
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb/local/gdb/procfs.c: In function 'ssd* proc_get_LDT_entry(procinfo*, int)':

Unless I'm mistaken, you need to run do_cleanups on every return from
the function.
Afterwards, I ran a 32-bit compilation, which (after adding
--disable-largefile to avoid

Fixed by casting pid_t to long and printing it as such.
