Title:
  SRU: gdb 7.7.1 for trusty

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gdb” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU: gdb 7.7.1 for trusty

  The SRU supersedes #1328503, building the gdb-doc package now from the
  gdb source, with the gdb man page in the gdb package, and updates to
  the 7.7.1 release.

  7.7.1 is a bug fix release (https://sourceware.org/gdb/news/), fixing
  the following issues:

  PR win32/14018 (pc register not available error on Windows)
  PR python/16547 (GDB crashing on gdb.python/py-linetable.exp)
  PR build/16550 (64-bit GDB doesn't build on Solaris)
  PR gdb/16626 (auto-load regression: gdb uses wrong file to test safeness)
  PR breakpoints/16292 (GDB oversteps a range in some cases.)
  PR gdb/16575 (stale breakpoint instructions in the code cache)
  PR gdb/16696 (AIX 32-bit cores, high section addresses)
  PR gdb/16721 (Erroneous backtrace on AVR)
  PR gdb/16832 (Erroneous backtrace on avrxmega architectures)
  PR build/16873 (GDB 7.7 does not build with GCC 4.9)

  The gdb package was built in the ubuntu-toolchain-r/ppa PPA, and
  doesn't show regressions in the gdb testsuite.

  SRU Justification:
  [Impact]
  Some crashes and misbehaviour.
  [Test Case]
  Run the gdb testsuite and check that the added testcases pass
  [Regression Potential]
  The gdb 7.7.1 was available in 14.10 until replaced by 7.8, and didn't show any issues.
