    Thanks for the series, Jose!
    
    The patches look pretty good.  I approved almost all of them.  The only
    exception is the testcase patch, but not because of the testcase per se:
    rather, it is because the new transform.m4 file that you added.  I think
    we're 99% done on this.  Let's just wait to see what Pedro thinks about
    the transform thing (since he was the one who requested it before).
    
Thanks.  I will remove the GDB_AC_TRANSFORM M4 macro from [PATCH V4 7/9]
and make it use verbose idioms in gdb/testsuite/configure.ac:

STRIP_TRANSFORM_NAME=`echo strip | sed -e "$transform"`
if test "x$STRIP_TRANSFORM_NAME" = x; then
   STRIP_TRANSFORM_NAME=strip
fi
[... same for readelf, as and nm]

And then I will push the patches to trunk.

Later I will send a separated patch with the addition of
GDB_AC_TRANSFORM for Pedro's consideration.

Salud!
