The GDB 4.8 features are:
* Guile scripting support.
* Python scripting enhancements.
* New commands:
** guile
** guile-repl
** info auto-load guile-scripts [REGEXP]
* New options:
** maint ada set ignore-descriptive-types (on|off)
** maint set target-async (on|off)
** set|show auto-load guile-scripts (on|off)
** set|show auto-connect-native-target
** set|show guile print-stack (none|message|full)
** set|show mi-async (on|off)
** set|show print symbol-loading (off|brief|full)
** set|show record btrace replay-memory-access (read-only|read-write)
* Remote Protocol:
** The qXfer:btrace:read packet supports a new annex 'delta'.
* GDB/MI:
** A new option "-gdb-set mi-async" replaces "-gdb-set target-async".
* New target configurations:
** PowerPC64 GNU/Linux little-endian
* btrace enhancements:
** The btrace record target now supports the 'record goto' command.
** The btrace record target supports limited reverse execution and
replay.
* ISO C99 variable length automatic arrays support.
* It is no longer required to "set target-async on" in order to use
background execution commands (e.g., "c&", "s&", etc.).

- 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"
- gdb-ia64-tdep.patch: build fixes
- gdb-ppc-ptrace.diff: Remove patch, not needed on new kernels
