Patch

From 20f3fafe7bb675844e93336efb96a23457dd4773 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Waldemar Brodkorb <wbx@openadk.org>

Subject: [PATCH] ld.so: remove GDB communication support

While analyzing a problem with GDB 8.0 under Qemu for Alpha
a deadlock occured. It seems the special GDb communication
code is no longer working as designed.
