gdb does it as it needs to be ABI compatible with BFD.  gdbserver does not
have to, so gdbserver's $enable_largefile does not need to match gdb/bfd.

Additionally config/largefile.m4 contains an exception for Solaris wrt its
procfs.  But gdbserver does not use procfs so far (can gdbserver run on
Solaris? How?) so it is not needed.

I am not sure how it is with gdbserver and procfs on Solaris but as it does
not seem to be an issue I would be for the more simple AC_SYS_LARGEFILE.
