GDB 13 release -- 2023-01-29 Update

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi everyone,

Quick update: We have progress on one of the issues (tdep/29738)
which makes me think that we'll be down to one single issue before
we make our first pre-release.

Below is a more detailed status:

Fixed Since the Previous Update:
--------------------------------

  * [TomT] build/29966
    Cannot build anymore for win32 thread model of gdb
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29966

    This ticket got closed, and then reopened I am not sure by whom,
    probably the author. I don't believe there is anything there
    for us to do, so moving this to the "fixed" section.

Added Since the Last Update:
----------------------------

  < none >

Other Ongoing Items:
--------------------

  * [TomT] c++/29896
    GDB git doesn't recognize template function name
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29896

    Patches pushed, to both master and branch, but unfortunately
    a regression was found - Tom confirmed and is working on a fix.

  * [Torbjorn] tdep/29738
    Arm M-profile dwarf2 unwinder performance suffers from exponential growth
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29738

    patch v3, 2023-01-19 has been pushed!
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-January/195915.html

    Backporting has been approved, waiting for it to be done.

Not Blocking, But Keep An Eye On:
---------------------------------

  < none >

I more or less gave up on this one.  Maybe the reporter will try again,
but in any case let's not hold the release for this.

I've pushed the fix to both branches now.

Personally, I think you guys have gone way beyond what I would have
done. I was very impressed with your patience and willingness to help.
Thanks for the confirmation that we shouldn't hold ourselves up
for this one.
