    gdb: Pass -x c++ to the compiler
    
    Because we are compiling .c files containing C++ code, clang++ complains
    with:
    
      clang: error: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode, this behavior is deprecated
    
    If renaming all the source files to .cpp is out of the question, an
    alternative is to pass "-x c++" to convince the compiler that we are
    really compiling C++.  It works fine with GCC too.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* Makefile.in (COMPILE.pre): Add "-x c++".
    
    gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
    
    	* Makefile.in (COMPILE.pre): Add "-x c++".
