Hello,
This patch fixes a GDBserver build failure on Android when using
NDK version 9 or later.
See the comment added in configure.ac for more details behind
this change.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Do not call AC_CHECK_TYPES for Elf32_auxv_t
and Elf64_auxv_t if the target is Android.
Tested on arm-android. OK to commit?
Thanks!
