typo in gdb/gdb_ptrace.c

Below is the diff patch for my fix.  It is not critical, but it sure
looks like a mistake to me.  This was in gdb-6.3, as you can see.  The
preprocessor is told to define PT_ATTACH if PTRACE_DETACH is defined. 
I think it should only define PT_ATTACH if PTRACE_ATTACH is defined,
but I think they'd both be defined if one or the other is already
defined anyway...  It merely appears to be a typo. :-)

I hope this helps.
