Checking whether the gcore command is included in the GDB build as
proxy for checking whether core dumping is supported by the target is
useless, as gcore.o has been in COMMON_OBS since git 9b4eba8e:
2009-10-26 Michael Snyder <msnyder@vmware.com>
Hui Zhu <teawater@gmail.com>
* Makefile.in (SFILES): Add gcore.c.
(COMMON_OBS): Add gcore.o.
* config/alpha/alpha-linux.mh (NATDEPFILES): Delete gcore.o.
* config/alpha/fbsd.mh (NATDEPFILES): Ditto.
...
IOW, the command is always included in the build.
Instead, nowadays, tests bail out if actually trying to generate a
core fails with an indication the target doesn't support it. See
gdb_gcore_cmd and callers.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gcore-buffer-overflow.exp: Remove "help gcore" test.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.

* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_gcore_cmd): New proc.
* linux-thread-db.c (inferior_has_bug): New function.
(thread_db_find_new_threads_silently): Return boolean as checked by
inferior_has_bug, describe it in the comments.
(try_thread_db_load_1): Move call to thread_db_find_new_threads_silently
earlier. Abort the initialization if it returned non-zero.
(thread_db_find_new_threads_2): Preinitialize ERR. Check errors also
if UNTIL_NO_NEW,
gdb/testsuite/
* gdb.threads/gcore-thread.exp: Remove variable libthread_db_seen.
Wrap the test into loop for corefile and core0file.
* gdb.threads/gcore-thread.exp (objfile, opts): New variables.
Try to compile the test using -Wl,-z,norelro first.
(load_core): New variable libthread_db_seen, initialize it.
(zeroed-threads cannot be listed): Protect it by XFAIL on
!$libthread_db_seen.
* linux-thread-db.c (find_new_threads_callback): Exit on zero TI_TID
even if !TARGET_HAS_EXECUTION.
gdb/testsuite/
* gdb.threads/gcore-thread.exp ($core0file): New variable.
(clear __stack_user.next, clear stack_used.next)
(save a zeroed-threads corefile): New test.
Call core_load for $core0file.
(zeroed-threads cannot be listed): New test.
* gdb.threads/gcore-thread.exp ($testfile): Match it the .exp
filename.
($srcfile): Preserve the original value.
($testfile): Match it the .exp filename.
($corefile): New variable. Substitute it around.
Use clean_restart.

gdb.trace/save-trace.exp: Make sure that full pathnames are
escaped correctly.
* gdb.base/gcore.exp: New test for generate-core-file command.
* gdb.base/gcore.c: Testcase for above.
* gdb.threads/gcore-thread.exp: New test for gcore (threaded).
