CVS build for Solaris 5.8 fails: elfcore_write_prpsinfo undefined

[Klaus Zeitler <kzeitler at alcatel-lucent dot com>]

The CVS version of gdb gives the following error for a Solaris 5.8 build:

gcc -g -O2      \
                -o gdb gdb.o libgdb.a \
                   ../readline/libreadline.a ../opcodes/libopcodes.a ../bfd/libbfd.a -lintl ../libiberty/libiberty.a ../libdecnumber/libdecnumber.a     -ldl -lncurses -lz -lsocket -lnsl -lm   ../libiberty/libiberty.a  gnulib/libgnu.a

I noticed that these 2 functions are defined in elf.c.
They are enclosed there with:
#if defined (HAVE_PRPSINFO_T) || defined (HAVE_PSINFO_T)
but the function calls in procfs.c are not.

I'm not sure if any of the 2 defines HAVE_PRPSINFO_T or HAVE_PSINFO_T
should be set for Solaris 5.8 (I guess I'd have to understand the code
in the configure script), but I think that the calls in procfs.c
need the same #ifs as in elf.c.

I enclosed the 2 function calls in procfs.c also with
#if defined (HAVE_PRPSINFO_T) || defined (HAVE_PSINFO_T)
and was able to build (and run) gdb.
