I tested this using various parts of the gdb test suite (in particular
Go and Rust).  I also verified that, with this series in place, gdb
does not use its monkey-patched code from future.exp.

Thank you; this will be merged for 1.6.3 to ensure compatibility with existing GDB releases. I should be able to get these applied and pushed onto a side branch over the weekend, with some additional documentation and testcases to describe and verify the new behavior.

I didn't attempt to further parameterize default_target_compile,
though I think that would be a good thing to do.
That is planned for rewriting that procedure for 1.6.4 to fix some remaining bugs that were found by inspection.


Lastly, I note that you are at AdaCore, so I will ask if you could examine the patch Maciej W. Rozycki submitted (<URL:https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2020-05/msg00019.html>) to wrap linker flags for gnatmake into -largs / -margs options. The patch seems good, but I am unsure if it there might be more to the problem than Rozycki saw; he was just trying to get a RISC-V Ada toolchain to work. Are the other -?args options needed to prevent future problems, or is only the linker ever likely to be affected?
