[patch] suppress annoying warnings about cygwin1.dbg

- Reply-to: insight at sourceware dot org
If you use Insight with Cygwin, you are treated to two extremely
annoying pop-up warnings every time you debug any program:
section .text not found in /bin/cygwin1.dbg
no loadable sections found in added symbol-file /bin/cygwin1.dbg
This is because the debug symbols for the Cygwin DLL itself are handled
specially. The DLL has only a .gnu_debuglink section which points to an
external file that holds the symbols, cygwin1.dbg. This file contains
only debug sections, no code, and thus every time gdb reads it with bfd,
it issues these warnings in symfile.c:syms_from_objfile().
When using the plain gdb front-end, stdout and stderr have been
conveniently redirected to /dev/null by
win32-nat.c:safe_symbol_file_add(). However, since Insight hooks
warning() through gdbtk_warning(), it gets all messages and doesn't know
to ignore them. This patch just adds a regexp in gdbtk_tcl_warning to
filter these messages. I can think of cleaner solutions to doing this,
such as having gdbtk_warning() check stdout/stderr, but it looks like
this is the established way of doing things so here it is.
