* ptype/o prints offsets and sizes of members (like pahole)
* tab-completion improved: quoting function names is not generally
necessary anymore, completion offers for breakpoint don't include
data symbol
* enable/disable breakpoints now accept ranges: 'disable 1.3-5'
* new commands:
- set/show cwd: working directory of debuggee
- set/show compile-gcc: program to use for 'compile' command
- starti: start program and stop at first instruction
- TUI single-key commands: 'i' for stepi and 'o' for nexti
* --readnever option disables any reading of debug info (for dumping)
* s390: guarded storage register access for z14
* gcore option -a dumps all memory mapping
* C++ breakpoints: 'b foo' will now set a breakpoint on all functions
and methods named 'foo' no matter the scope. Use -qualified if you
don't want that
* python scripting: new events gdb.new_inferior, gdb.inferior_deleted
and gdb.new_thread; new command rbreak (breakpoint accepting regexps)
* gdbserver can be passed environment parameters to remote debuggee

- gdb-aarch64-hw-break.patch: fix setting hardware debug registers after
fork
- Merge from fedoras gdb-7.6.50-20130731-cvs, of what will become 7.7
eventually. This includes 7.6, which gave:
* new native configurations (e.g. ARM AArch64 GNU/Linux)
* new targets (e.g. ARM AArch64, Lynx 178 PowerPC, x86_64/Cygwin)
* support for the "mini debuginfo" section, .gnu_debugdata
* the C++ ABI now defaults to the GNU v3 ABI
* more Python scripting improvements
* some GDB/MI improvements
* new configure options, new commands, and options
* new remote packets
* a new "target record-btrace" has been added while the
"target record" command has been renamed to "target record-full"
