GDB 10 branching - 2020-08-29 Update

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi everyone,

It looks like we're finally getting closer to branching :-). One item
left to go, for which we'll hopefully have a patch soon.

Fixed Since the Previous Update:
--------------------------------

  * [ChristianB/Pedro/Joel (reported by Eli)]
    Update gnulib to include fixes needed for mingw.org's MinGW
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26380

Added Since the Last Update:
----------------------------

<none> (Yay! ;-) )

Other Ongoing Items:
--------------------

  * [TomT/HannesD] <PR win32/25302>
    Mismatching fstat() function calls in gdb_bfd_open() and cache_bstat()
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25302

    Latest discussion at:
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169670.html
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170681.html
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-August/171249.html

    Tom will send a diff patching gnulib the week of Aug 31st.

  * [TomT] <PR rust/26197>
    rust FAILs with rustc 1.36.0 and llvm 7
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26197

    Patch pushed:
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170764.html

    At the stage where we are just XFAIL-ing the remaining failures.
    I'd say we have the most important part of the fix, and whatever
    is left can easily be backported to the branch if needed.

Not Critical, but Requested:
----------------------------

  <none>

Cheers,
