Since this improves performance a little bit, I guess I could say
it stands on is own, so I went ahead and pushed it in already,
as below.

Subject: [PATCH] Use TOLOWER in SYMBOL_HASH_NEXT
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The support for setting breakpoint in functions with ABI tags patch
will add a use of SYMBOL_HASH_NEXT in cp-support.c, which fails to
compile with:
src/gdb/cp-support.c:38:0:
src/gdb/cp-support.c: In function ‘unsigned int cp_search_name_hash(const char*)’:
src/gdb/../include/safe-ctype.h:148:20: error: ‘do_not_use_tolower_with_safe_ctype’ was not declared in this scope
#define tolower(c) do_not_use_tolower_with_safe_ctype
^
src/gdb/minsyms.h:174:18: note: in expansion of macro ‘tolower’
((hash) * 67 + tolower ((unsigned char) (c)) - 113)
^
src/gdb/cp-support.c:1677:14: note: in expansion of macro ‘SYMBOL_HASH_NEXT’
hash = SYMBOL_HASH_NEXT (hash, *string);
^
This fixes the problem before it happens.
I was somewhat worried about whether this might have an impact with
languages that are case insensitive, but I convinced myself that it
doesn't. As bonus, this improves GDB's minsym interning performance a
bit (3%-10%). See
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2017-11/msg00021.html>.
