The following removes the unused config/dbx.h file and removes the
setting of PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE from dbxcoff.h which is
overridden by all users (djgpp/mingw/cygwin) via either including
config/i386/djgpp.h or config/i386/cygming.h
There are still circumstances where mingw and cygwin default to
STABS, namely when HAVE_GAS_PE_SECREL32_RELOC is not defined and
the target defaults to 32bit code generation.
The new style handling DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO is in line with
dbxelf.h which does not define PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE either.
The patch also removes the PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE define from
lynx.h which always follows elfos.h already defaulting to DWARF,
so the comment about STABS being the default is misleading and
outdated. There's no listed maintainer for Lynx OS.
I have not tested this in any ways but I also have no idea how
to meaningfully do so.
OK?
Thanks,
Richard.

* config/dbx.h: Remove.
* config/dbxcoff.h: Do not define PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE.
* config/lynx.h: Likewise.
I'd go ahead and install. We're on a clear path to kill dbx/stabs and
if this breaks those ports, better to do so as early as possible to give
folks a chance to fix 'em.
I can't really help on the testing side for this -- my tester doesn't
try to test djgpp, mingw or cygwin.

ps. I'd hazard a guess that lynx.h is for the old lynxos system from
the 90s. I'd be amazed if it's still used in any way.
