Actually this patchset is a combination of "Update to gdb-16.2" and
"Fix several build failures".
The reason for the patchset combination is, the latter one backported
several gdb upstream patches[1], which is not needed after the gdb upgrade.
It is meaningless to backport and revert the patch in a short time, so I
merged them into 1 patchset.
For patchset "Fix several build failures", patch 1 is elimited, patch 2
is untouched, and patch 3 is slightly modified for adaption.

tools.c: do not use keywords 'nullptr' as a variable in code
Fix build failure on 32bit machine(i686)
Tao Liu (3):
Revert: Fix C99 compatibility issues in embedded copy of GDB
Revert longaarch related gdb changes
As you mentioned in patch log, the above two patches are no longer needed, which are included in gdb 16.2. So I would suggest removing them from gdb-16.2.patch, revert is not very good in the gdb upgrade case.
For LoongArch, also remove crash part changes(it may not work), once the gdb-16.2 upgrade is ready, the LoongArch people can follow the current changes and get a clean patch, maybe two or three hundred lines of code.
Update to gdb-16.2
I tend to have a clean patch for gdb-16.2 rather than based on gdb-10.2.patch, and which is easier to maintain in the future.
BTW: for several build failure patches, I would suggest handling them firstly. If we can not merge the gdb-16.2 patch in time, there may be risks.
What do you think?
Thanks
Lianbo
