  String collection always used ref32 to fetch the string pointer.  Make it
use ref64 when pointeer size is 64-bit.

This appeared to work on x86_64 since it's a little-endian platform, and
malloc (used in gdb.trace/collection.exp) returns addresses in low 4GB.
Noticed and tested on s390x-ibm-linux-gnu, also tested on
i686-unknown-linux-gnu and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* ax-gdb.c (gen_traced_pop): Use aop_ref64 when appropriate for
	string collection.

OK to push?

"pointer".

Missing space before parens.

Missing space before parens.  I was going to say to
check for == 8 instead so that we don't pessimize the
8/16 bits cases, but sounds better even to factor out
the switch in gen_fetch, so that the ref8/ref16 are covered
as well:

      switch (TYPE_LENGTH (type))
	{
	case 8 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref8);
	  break;
	case 16 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref16);
	  break;
	case 32 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref32);
	  break;
	case 64 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref64);
	  break;

	  /* Either our caller shouldn't have asked us to dereference
	     that pointer (other code's fault), or we're not
	     implementing something we should be (this code's fault).
	     In any case, it's a bug the user shouldn't see.  */
	default:
	  internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__,

WDYT?

Thanks,

Fair enough, ref16 may actually be useful on some tiny platforms, and it 
certainly won't hurt to throw in ref8 as well.  I'll do that.
