Thanks.  When investigating the failure to detect -static-libstdc++
support (more below), I found two more issues which only show up with
-Werror:

/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb/local/gdb/procfs.c: In function 'ssd* proc_get_LDT_entry(procinfo*, int)':
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb/local/gdb/procfs.c:2487:19: error: variable 'old_chain' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
   struct cleanup *old_chain = NULL;
                   ^

Unless I'm mistaken, you need to run do_cleanups on every return from
the function.

Afterwards, I ran a 32-bit compilation, which (after adding
--disable-largefile to avoid

In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:28:0,
                 from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb/local/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:23:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:39:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
 #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
  ^

and two more instances) revealed

/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb/local/gdb/top.c: In function 'void gdb_safe_append_history()':
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb/local/gdb/top.c:1170:59: error: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'pid_t {aka long int}' [-Werror=format=]
     = xstrprintf ("%s-gdb%d~", history_filename, getpid ());
                                                           ^

Fixed by casting pid_t to long and printing it as such.

Still ok for mainline?

Done now (PR build/20712).

This turned out to be (sort of) pilot error: since I'd started with
building a 64-bit gdb with a 32-bit-default gcc, I had to configure with
CFLAGS='-g -O2 -m64' and now added CXXFLAGS='$(CFLAGS)'.  However, this
didn't work as intended, but passed a literal "$(CFLAGS)" to C++
compilations, breaking/confusing several configure tests like the one
for -static-libstdc++ or the -Werror one.  Once I duplicated the
necessary options in CXXFLAGS, everything went fine and libstdc++ was
linked statically as expected.
