   An update that has 13 recommended fixes and contains four
   features can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for gdb fixes the following issues:

   - Don't 'BuildRequire' binutils-gold for SLE-12/s390.
   - Implements jsc#SLE-21561.
   - Fix gdb chrashes while debugging 'clang-cpp'. (bsc#1192285)
   - Disable big endian powerpc.
   - Maintenance scripts:
     * Fix patch filtering in clean.sh.
     * Add KFAIL in qa.sh.
   - Added maintenance script:
     * qa.sh
   - Drop 32bit packages for s390x.
   - Fix SLE-15 s390x: unresolvable, nothing provides
     glibc-devel-static-32bit.
   - Disable test-case gdb.base/break-interp.exp for SLE-11. It causes a
     "glibc detected *** expect: double free or corruption (out)" in expect
     and a subsequent runtest abort.  This might be the cause
     of the package build failure due to "Job seems to be stuck here, killed.
      (after 8hrs of inactivity)"

   - Rebase to 11.1 release (as in fedora 35 @ 9cd9368):
     * GDB now supports general memory tagging functionality if the
       underlying architecture supports the proper primitives and hooks.
       Currently this is enabled only for AArch64 MTE.
     * GDB will now look for the .gdbinit file in a config directory before
       looking for ~/.gdbinit.  The file is searched for in the following
       locations: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gdb/gdbinit, $HOME/.config/gdb/gdbinit,
       $HOME/.gdbinit.
     * GDB will now load and process commands from ~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit
       or ~/.gdbearlyinit if these files are present.  These files are
       processed earlier than any of the other initialization files and can
       affect parts of GDB's startup that previously had already been
       completed before the initialization files were read, for example
       styling of the initial GDB greeting.
     * GDB now has two new options "--early-init-command" and
       "--early-init-eval-command" with corresponding short options "-eix"
       and "-eiex" that allow options (that would normally appear in a
       gdbearlyinit file) to be passed on the command line.
     * set startup-quietly on|off show startup-quietly When 'on', this causes
       GDB to act as if "-silent" were passed
       on the command line.  This command needs to be added to an early
        initialization file (e.g. ~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit) in order to
        affect GDB.
     * For RISC-V targets, the target feature "org.gnu.gdb.riscv.vector" is
       now understood by GDB, and can be used to describe the vector
       registers of a target.
     * TUI windows now support mouse actions.  The mouse wheel scrolls the
       appropriate window.
     * Key combinations that do not have a specific action on the focused
       window are passed to GDB.  For example, you now can use
       Ctrl-Left/Ctrl-Right to move between words in the command window
       regardless of which window is in focus.  Previously you would need to
       focus on the command window for such key combinations to work.
     * set python ignore-environment on|off show python ignore-environment
       When 'on', this causes GDB's builtin Python to ignore any environment
       variables that would otherwise affect how Python behaves.  This
       command needs to be added to an early initialization file (e.g.
       ~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit) in
         order to affect GDB.
     * set python dont-write-bytecode auto|on|off show python
       dont-write-bytecode When 'on', this causes GDB's builtin Python to not
       write any byte-code (.pyc files) to disk.  This command needs to be
       added to an early initialization file (e.g.
       ~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit) in order to affect GDB. When 'off'
       byte-code will always be written. When set to 'auto' (the default)
       Python will check the PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE environment variable.
     * break [PROBE_MODIFIER] [LOCATION] [thread THREADNUM]
       [-force-condition] [if CONDITION] This command would previously refuse
       setting a breakpoint if the CONDITION expression is invalid at a
       location.  It now accepts and defines the breakpoint if there is at
       least one location at which the CONDITION is valid.  The locations for
       which the CONDITION is invalid, are automatically disabled.  If
       CONDITION is invalid at all of the locations, setting the breakpoint
       is still rejected.  However, the '-force-condition' flag can be used
       in this case for forcing GDB to define the breakpoint, making all the
       current locations automatically disabled.  This may be useful if the
       user knows the condition will become meaningful at a future location,
       e.g. due to a shared library load.
