Hi Alan,
I'm trying to build GDB on Fedora Rawhide Aarch64, and I'm seeing the
following breakage:
CXX aarch64-linux-nat.o

I think it may be a good idea to guard these #define's with #ifndef's.
I'm trying to get ahold of a machine to test this (the build failure
happened on a machine which I don't have direct control over).
Thanks,
