[CT-NG 1.11.3] Cross-gdb XML support missing

[BenoÃt THÃBAUDEAU <benoit dot thebaudeau at advansee dot com>]

Hi Yann, all,

If I build Linaro GDB as a crosstool with CT-NG 1.11.3, I get the following
warning when I run GDB:
"Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time"

This may also cause errors when accessing target registers.

I think that we should do something like the patch below to fix this (not yet
tested).

By the way, note that Linaro GCC 4.5/4.6 and GDB can now be bumped to revision
2011.05.

Best regards,
BenoÃt

This patch adds XML support to cross-gdb so that the target description can be
parsed. This avoids possible runtime errors and the following GDB warning:
"Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time"
