> DW_FORM_strx is the new name of DW_FORM_GNU_str_index in the Dwarf 5

> This is a small step towards supporting Dwarf 5 in gdb.

This looks good, with a few minor nits below...

These should all have '.' at the end.

Your mail client seems to have corrupted the patch slightly so I
couldn't check you had the correct tabs/spaces here.  Please double
check before you commit.

Same white space check here please.

Additionally could you look at expanding 'proc _handle_DW_FORM' in
gdb/testsuite/lib/dwarf.exp to also handle DW_FORM_strx, this should
just require adding a line like this 'DW_FORM_strx -' at the correct
place.

Thanks,
Andrew
