debug/gdb: fix from upstream with newer glibc(siginfo vs siginfo_t, Gentoo gdb-7.4.1 patch)

This is for when you failed to build gdb-native with the error:

gdb-7.4.1/gdb/linux-nat.h:79:18: error: field 'siginfo' has incomplete type"

This is from mirror://gentoo/distfiles/gdb-7.4.1-patches-2.tar.xz

fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
