[PATCH+7.12 0/1] gdb/NEWS: Mention C++ is now the default

[Pedro Alves]

I noticed that the 7.12 NEWS does not mention yet that C++ is now the
default.  Might be a good idea to mention it, and suggest how to fall
back to C, if necessary, taking the opportunity to warn that the
option will be removed in the future.

Follows a patch for that.  OK?

The text is okay, but I think "./configure --help" should mention
"--disable-build-with-cxx", as it does with all the other options that
are enabled by default.

Yes, good to mention it.  Does "+7.12" in subject mean the patch is for both
master and 7.12? or only for 7.12.  My understand is the former.

Yesh, both master and 7.12.

That's now done, so here's what I'm pushing to master and 7.12,
updated to talk about --disable-build-with-cxx.
