savestring dcls conflict


Version: 5.0 with readline-4.1

I still do not think that gdb must be built only with its own
readline.

Definitions and behavior of savestring functions in readline and gdb
are different.  <readline/readline.h> provides dcl of its own way and
provides a way to block away this dcl.  I patch gdb to make use of
blocking away method and avoid conflicts of dcls with compilation
errors.  If header does not contain dcl in question, no harm is done.
