[3/3] arc: Add support for Newlib
Commit Message
Add support for Newlib as an OS/ABI. The only thing that is specific to it
relatively to "generic" baremetal target is location of PC register in jump
buffer for longjump support.
Sniffer uses .ivt section to decide if ELF file is for ARC Newlib or not.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arc-newlib-tdep.c: New file.
* configure.tgt: Add newlib support for ARC.

What is jb_pc on arc-linux? Is it 18 or a different one? If it is 18
too, we can use arc_get_longjmp_target for both newlib and linux. Patch
#1 is not needed.

Unfortunately, it is different in our uClibc port [1] - jb_pc is 15 there.
uClibc saves r13-r25, fp (r27), sp (r28), blink (r31); newlib on the other
hand saves all registers from r13 through r31. Back in time ARC port of GDB
had an "if" inside the get_longjump_target which was selecting offset based
on OS/ABI, instead of using tdep->jb_pc. But using jb_pc, like in arm-tdep.c,
looks like a better solution architecturally.

Patch is good to me.

Patch series applied with requested fixes. Thanks for the review!
