I feel it is clearer on why do we check for getauxval, if we call
AC_CHECK_FUNCS separately for getauxval. I've removed the second
AC_CHECK_FUNCS in the updated patch.

OK, it is fixed the updated patch.

Patch below is what I pushed in. Thanks for the review.

Subject: [PATCH] Detect 64-bit-ness in PowerPC Book III-E
This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBServer to detect 64-bit inferior
correctly. We find a problem that GDBServer is unable to detect on a
e5500 core processor. Current GDBServer assumes that MSR is a 64-bit
register, but MSR is a 32-bit register in Book III-E. This patch is
to fix this problem by checking the right bit in MSR, in order to handle
both Book III-S and Book III-E. In order to detect Book III-S and
Book III-E, we check the PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE from the host's HWCAP (by
getauxval on glibc >= 2.16. If getauxval doesn't exist, we implement
the fallback by parsing /proc/self/auxv), because it should an invariant
on the same machine cross different processes.
In order to share code, I add nat/ppc-linux.c for both GDB and
GDBserver side.
