[Bug build/9111] "Cannot use procfs in large file compilation environment"

["pedro at codesourcery dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Yes, that's right.  A recent bfd change had forced large file support on 32-bit
solaris systems, and we had to explicitly disable it to keep GDB working.  See
PR9641.

It *may* be possible to support large file support by hacking around that 
sys/procfs.h check, and being careful to not rely on its affected structures:
that is, e.g., redefining the procfs structures in gdb/bfd always with
32-bit/kernel layout; or hardcoding the needed offsets in bfd, and perhaps
disabling largefile support when building procfs.c + explicitly using
transitional large file compilation environment there ...

See:

I can't claim that it would be pretty, though...
