Re: [PATCH] gdbserver: start a gitignore

OK for both .gitignore files.

I was nit-picking on myself whether to have one gitignore file for
the entire gdb project, or multiple ones.  I like one because all
the information is grouped in one single file.  On the other hand,
this has several drawbacks: merging conflicts are more likely, and
renaming a directory inside GDB means that the global gitignore
would probably need to be updated as well.  Neither drawback is
significant, but since we have patches that avoid them both...
