GDB 7.9 release update

[Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>]

Hello,

Just a quick update on the 7.9 release process.

We have 10 entries listed in our TODO file.

| [Joel] PR gdb/17856 (ada-lang.c resaves in cache symbol it just found in cache)
| [Doug] PR gdb/17855 (clear_symtab_users doesn't call observer_notify_new_objfile (NULL) early enough)
| [Joel] PR gdb/17854 (Nothing sets pspace_data->sym_cache)

Patches were posted a while ago for those, so it's a matter of pushing
them. Doug, let's do it?

| [Doug] PR gdb/17821 (anonymous namespace + .gdb_index issue)

Status?

| [Doug] PR gdb/17799 (symbol lookup cache patch)

Defered for next release?

| [Doug] PR gdb/17798 (explicit linespecs patch)

I saw a recent message on this, so hopefully OK soon?

| [Doug] PR gdb/17681 (tab-completion needs better throttling)

I also saw the patch being discussed, so hopefully soon as well?

| [Phil?] PR cli/17716 ([7.7 regression] Backtrace cannot be stopped by 'q' or CTRL-C)

Phil?

| [Andreas Arnez] PR corefiles/17808 (7.9 regression: internal-error: i386_supply_gregset: Assertion `len == tdep->sizeof_gregset' failed.)

I think I saw a conditional OK on this patch.

| [Jan-pending] patch mail (compile: Filter out -fpreprocessed) (optional)

The patch needs to be reviewed.

Thanks!
