            Bug ID: 18897
           Summary: Default values for auto-load directories use wrong
                    path separator on MS-Windows
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: eliz at gnu dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Building GDB 7.10 on MS-Windows with MinGW toolchain produces a binary whose
auto-load safe-path and script-directory use a colon ':' for separating
directories, instead of a semi-colon ';'.

The values are computed by configure and written in gdb/config.h:

#define AUTO_LOAD_DIR "$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load"
#define AUTO_LOAD_SAFE_PATH "$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load"

This causes the auto-loading features not to work correctly, as the code which
uses these values at run time correctly uses the semi-colon as the separator
character on MS-Windows.

The fix should be to use a host-dependent character when computing the value at
configure time.
