patches/gdb: Fix canadian building of GDB for powerpc

Adds patch for GDB v6.8, v7.0, v7.0.1 to fix canadian
cross building of GDB for powerpc.

See original patch information here:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9638

The patch is not required for GDB v7.1 (fixed).

Tested in canadian combination using mingw32 and powerpc toolchains.
Tested to not affect normal cross building of GDB for powerpc target.

gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to

make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE

ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently

unsupported).  At this time, the kernel build system only passes

-mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully)."
