Summary

Security update for gdb

Details

This update for gdb fixes the following issues:

Drop libdebuginfod1 BuildRequires/Recommends. The former isn't needed because there's a build requirement on libdebuginfod-devel already, which will pull the shared library. And the latter, because it's bogus since RPM auto generated dependency will take care of that requirement.

gdb was released in 13.2:

This version of GDB includes the following changes and enhancements:
- Support for the following new targets has been added in both GDB and GDBserver:
  - GNU/Linux/LoongArch (gdbserver) loongarch--linux*
  - GNU/Linux/CSKY (gdbserver) csky-linux*
- The Windows native target now supports target async.
- Floating-point support has now been added on LoongArch GNU/Linux.
- New commands:
  - set print nibbles [on|off]
  - show print nibbles
  - This controls whether the 'print/t' command will display binary values in groups of four bits, known as 'nibbles'. The default is 'off'. Various styling-related commands. See the gdb/NEWS file for more details. Various maintenance commands. These are normally aimed at GDB experts or developers. See the gdb/NEWS file for more details.
- Python API improvements:
```
   * New Python API for instruction disassembly.

   * The new attribute 'locations' of gdb.Breakpoint returns a list of gdb.BreakpointLocation objects specifying the locations where the breakpoint is inserted into the debuggee.
   * New Python type gdb.BreakpointLocation.
   * New function gdb.format_address(ADDRESS, PROGSPACE, ARCHITECTURE) that formats ADDRESS as 'address '
   * New function gdb.current_language that returns the name of the current language. Unlike gdb.parameter('language'), this will never return 'auto'.
   * New function gdb.print_options that returns a dictionary of the prevailing print options, in the form accepted by gdb.Value.format_string.
   * New method gdb.Frame.language that returns the name of the frame's language.
   * gdb.Value.format_string now uses the format provided by 'print', if it is called during a 'print' or other similar operation.
   * gdb.Value.format_string now accepts the 'summary' keyword. This can be used to request a shorter representation of a value, the way that 'set print frame-arguments scalars' does.
   * The gdb.register_window_type method now restricts the set of acceptable window names. The first character of a window's name must start with a character in the set [a-zA-Z], every subsequent character of a window's name must be in the set [-_.a-zA-Z0-9].
```
  - GDB/MI changes:
    - MI version 1 is deprecated, and will be removed in GDB 14.
    - The async record stating the stopped reason 'breakpoint-hit' now contains an optional field locno.
  - Miscellaneous improvements:
    - gdb now supports zstd compressed debug sections (ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD) for ELF.
    - New convenience variable $inferiorthread_count contains the number of live threads in the current inferior.
    - New convenience variables $hitbpnum and $hitlocno, set to the breakpoint number and the breakpoint location number of the breakpoint last hit.
    - The 'info breakpoints' now displays enabled breakpoint locations of disabled breakpoints as in the 'y-' state.
    - The format of 'disassemble /r' and 'record instruction-history /r' has changed to match the layout of GNU objdump when disassembling.
    - A new format '/b' has been introduce to provide the old behavior of '/r'.
    - The TUI no longer styles the source and assembly code highlighted by the current position indicator by default. You can however re-enable styling using the new 'set style tui-current-position' command.
    - It is now possible to use the 'document' command to document user-defined commands.
    - Support for memory tag data for AArch64 MTE.
  - Support Removal notices:
    - DBX mode has been removed.
    - Support for building against Python version 2 has been removed. It is now only possible to build GDB against Python 3.
    - Support for the following commands has been removed:
    - set debug aix-solib on|off
    - show debug aix-solib
    - set debug solib-frv on|off
    - show debug solib-frv
    - Use the 'set/show debug solib' commands instead.
