577379ab60 * stabs.texinfo (Stabs in ELF): Clarify how Bbss.bss work with respect
to picking which Bbss.bss symbol to use, and (because there seems to
	be no good way of doing it) re-write some of the text to make it

	designed).

3f73b7c868 * gdb.texinfo (C): In addition to saying people have to use g++ for
good results, say they have to use stabs.  Specifically say cfront

	the gdb README.  Add xrefs to places where the support for the various
	languages is described in detail.

199b2450f6 Change the stream argument to _filtered to GDB_FILE *.
Change all references to stdout/stderr to gdb_stdout/gdb_stderr.

Replace all calls to stdio output functions with calls to
corresponding _unfiltered functions (`fprintf_unfiltered')

Replaced calls to fopen for output to gdb_fopen.

Added sufficient goo to utils.c and defs.h to make the above work.

The net effect is that stdio output functions are only directly used
in utils.c.  Elsewhere, the _unfiltered and _filtered functions and
GDB_FILE type are used.

In the near future, GDB_FILE will stop being equivalant to FILE.

The semantics of some commands has changed in a very subtle way:
called in the right context, they may cause new occurences of
prompt_for_continue() behavior.  The testsuite doesn't notice anything
like this, though.

Please respect this change by not reintroducing stdio output
dependencies in the main body of gdb code.  All output from commands
should go to a GDB_FILE.

Target-specific code can still use stdio directly to communicate with
targets.

f8cbe5189d * stabs.texinfo: Update ld stabs in elf relocation to reflect the fact
that Sun has backed away from the linker kludge and thus the relevant
	issue is changes to the SunPRO tools, not the Solaris linker.

79bda3c7e8 * gdb.texinfo: Remove stuff about ar and 14 character filenames.
I believe this was fixed by the 13 Sep 89 change to print_frame_info.
	Also, modern versions of ar like BSD 4.4 or SVR4 don't have this bug.
