  Switching GDB to make use of gnulib's C++ namespace support mode
revealed these direct uses of fprintf in the Ada lexer:

 In file included from ..../src/gdb/ada-exp.y:731:0:
 ada-lex.c: In function ‘void yy_fatal_error(const char*)’:
 ada-lex.c:2358:41: error: call to ‘fprintf’ declared with attribute warning: The symbol ::fprintf refers to the system function. Use gnulib::fprintf instead. [-Werror]
     (void) fprintf( stderr, "%s\n", msg );
					  ^

The generated yy_fatal_error looks like this with flex 2.5.35:

 static void yy_fatal_error (yyconst char* msg )
 {
			 (void) fprintf( stderr, "%s\n", msg );
	 exit( YY_EXIT_FAILURE );
 }

We can define YY_FATAL_ERROR to override that default implementation.

I think it's a good idea to do that and call internal_error instead of
exiting gdb, so this is what this patch does.

However, the default implementation is still generated and
unconditionally compiled in, so we need to handle that fprintf somehow
too.  gnulib's C++ namespace support adds that useful warning shown
above, breaking the build if we don't do anything here.

So this commit uses sed to replace fprintf calls with parser_fprintf
calls, like we already do to rewire malloc to xmalloc, etc.

gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* Makefile.in (.l.c): Replace fprintf calls with parser_fprintf
	calls.
	* yy-remap.h (YY_FATAL_ERROR): Define.
