  Make `i' defined within `i387_collect_xsave' unsigned, removing a 
`-Werror=strict-overflow' compilation error:

.../gdb/i387-tdep.c: In function 'void i387_collect_xsave(const regcache*, int, void*, int)':
.../gdb/i387-tdep.c:1348:1: error: assuming signed overflow does not occur when assuming that (X + c) < X is always false [-Werror=strict-overflow]

Makefile:1610: recipe for target 'i387-tdep.o' failed
make: *** [i387-tdep.o] Error 1

seen with GCC 5.4.0, a commit 8ee22052f690 ("gdb/x86: Handle kernels 
using compact xsave format") regression.  While `regnum' can be -1 on 
entry to the function, to mean all registers, `i' is only used with 
non-negative register numbers.

Hi,

 I believe this comes from register numbers being retrieved from the 
`tdep' structure at run time and therefore making the compiler unable to 
statically determine in loop expression processing that the calculations 
made on `i' will not cause a signed overflow.

 NB the error message pointing at the function definition rather than the 
declaration of `i' makes it rather difficult to determine what the actual 
cause might be.  I just hope it's only a peculiarity of the somewhat older 
version of the compiler and it has been fixed since.  Could someone from 
the GCC mailing list please comment on that?

 OK to apply?

  Maciej
